A suspect has been identified in connection to the murder of a UCLA graduate student in Hancock Park.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, 31-year-old Shawn Laval Smith is wanted in connection to Brianna Kupfer's death. Kupfer was found dead by a customer at a luxury furniture store during daytime last week. Authorities believe her death was the result of a random attack.

Smith has been seen in Pasadena, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Covina and other parts of California, according to LAPD.

LAPD believes Smith is armed and dangerous. Anyone near Smith is asked to call 911, instead of approaching him, LAPD warns.

Well,if this suspect is the murderer, this “random crime” is yet another black-on-white hate crime murder.

Sounds like a Race War with one side not engaging.

Where is Manson?

They have a name to work with now.
He’s about 6’, 6”, so he should be easy to spot in a crowd.

‘You have many sons in there [prison]; many, many sons in there, most of them are black and they are angry. They are mad, and they are mad at me. I look and I say, “Why are you mad at me?” He said, “I am mad at you because of what your father did.” And I look at him and I say, “Well,” and I look at my fathers, and I say, “If there was ever a devil on the face of this earth I am him.”’

‘Whatever you do is up to you and it’s the same thing with anyone in my family; and anybody in my family is a white human being, because my family is of the white family. There is the black family, a yellow family, the red family, a cow family and a mule family. There is all kinds of different families. We have to find ourselves first, God second, and kind, k-i-n-d, come next.’

At least it wasn’t a hate crime, since she’s white.

He’ll be out on bail tomorrow.

“Drug, alcohol or Mental health issues” my fanny! We need incarceration to be long and hard for these vicious murderers. Or death.

From that article:

Brianna Kupfer “texted a friend saying that she was getting a ‘bad vibe’ from the man, but unfortunately, the friend didn’t get the text in time, authorities said in a press conference Tuesday.”

01/14/2022: Search For Suspect In Hancock Park Fatal Stabbing Still Ongoing

https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2022/01/14/search-for-suspect-in-hancock-park-fatal-stabbing-still-ongoing/

EXCERPT:

Dr. Jennifer Botelho, who owns a chiropractic practice next to the business, told CBS that the suspect also entered her practice just moments before the fatal stabbing, detailing that “He came in and asked a couple of questions: ‘Do you do orthopedics here?’ What kind of care we provide and then he left. So he was just here for a few minutes.”

EXCERPT:

Authorities have deployed additional units in the area in response to the tragedy, but Botelho had already taken her own precautions in lieu of the rising crime rates in the city. In the last year, she’s beefed up on her security, and also added a buzzer to her door, noting that, “We’ve had at least four people or so in the last year who’ve come into the office – by their actions and words were just not right and did not have good intentions.”
