Brianna Kupfer, fatally stabbed while working at high-end LA furniture store
A UCLA grad student was fatally stabbed by a random maniac
while she was working as a consultant at a high-end furniture store in Los
Angeles last Thursday, reports said.
Brianna Kupfer, 24, was alone and working at Croft House
when an unknown male suspect, who is believed to be homeless, knifed her before
fleeing through the back door and calmly walking down an alley, Fox 11
reported, citing the LAPD.
Kupfer was discovered by a customer about 20 minutes later
and pronounced dead on scene.
The victim was studying architectural design and worked at
the furniture store as a design consultant, the report said.
Her father told CBSLA that she was “loved by all.”
Dr. Jennifer Botelho, the owner of a nearby chiropractic
office, told CBSLA that the suspect walked into her businesses shortly before
the fatal stabbing.
“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,” Botelho said.
Police were still searching for the suspect as of late
Sunday.
“It’s terrifying. It’s horrible,” Botelho said of the random
attack.
“She’s such a young girl. We feel so horrible for Brianna’s
family, and hope we can catch this guy.”
