What does precursors mean?

I'm doing this project on serial killers and there's like so many meaning for the word, the question I'm trying to it is "were there any precursors?"

    Was there any indication in this person's life that he was violent or deranged? Was there a person he might have been influenced by (an abuser, for example?) Was there anything to indicate he admired a previous serial killer, such as Vlad the Impaler or Jack the Ripper?

    Precursor is a pointer, it's a heads up or a guide for where you're going.

    It's asking if there's any way you could have told that they were a serial killer beforehand... Like, were they anti-social? Aggressive? That sort of thing.
