Suspect ID’ed in murder of Brianna Kupfer; cops release video of alleged killer
Breaking 911 ^ | 01 18 2022 | Staff

The Los Angeles Police Department on Tuesday identified a suspect in the apparent random killing of 24-year-old Brianna Kupfer, a Pacific Palisades woman who worked at Croft House furniture store.

A manhunt is underway for 31-year-old Shawn Laval Smith — he should be considered armed and dangerous. A reward of up to $250,000 is being offered in the case.

According to police: On Thursday afternoon, January 13, 2022, around 1:50 p.m., Wilshire Patrol officers responded to a radio call of an “Ambulance Assault with a Deadly Weapon” at a business, located at the 300 block of North La Brea Avenue. The officers met with the reporting party, a customer who had entered the store and discovered the victim deceased on the floor.

Detectives have determined the suspect was not known to the victim and was a random walk in to the store. The suspect attacked the victim with a knife and fled the scene through the back door. There is no known motive at this time. The suspect was last seen on video surveillance northbound in the alley to the rear of the crime scene.

I had suspicions, before I got the details.

LAPD is putting their best social workers on this case. We’ll be safe.

I’m thinking that he tried to ask her out and he refused and then he killed her in response.

What are they going to do when they catch him. Release him upon the public one more time? As they have all other times they caught him. But this is what the people of California noted for. So at least they are getting what they voted for.

OMG, she is SO cute. This just absolutely breaks my heart. Why would any evil POS do such a horrible thing?

For what it's worth, they put out an actual description, something you don't see that often these ultra-woke days...

Beautiful young woman.

But this story started a long time ago. I remember when so many people in DC were released from mental institutions, and we began to have a homeless issue on the streets. But I’ve never really understood how it all evolved. Some people blame Liberals, some blame Reagan.

A NYT article from 1984:

Odds are he asked her out and she declined.
So, he decided to teach her a lesson as to why you never refuse the advancements of a black man.

None at all. My suspicions were dead on.

It was the Asian woman pushed onto the tracks, the young woman at Burger King and now this. It seems never-ending, and the culprit is always classified as, “homeless”. Only a newspaper overseas makes it headlines.

The Latina who worked at Burger King and her killer

The Asian who was shoved in front of a NYC subway train and her killer:

Anyone notice a pattern?

Another person murdered in a deep-blue area. Sad but not surprising.

I’m thinking it was a flat out hate crime. Another hideous black on white hate crime that happens all the time but is NEVER.called or prosecuted for what it is. It will continue until the liberal race baiting politicians and media such as Joy Reid are openly held accountable for their insidious, lying propaganda which is inflaming and encouraging these already dangerous criminals to hate and attack white people

Violent crimes committed by blacks on whites always end with a mental illness theme. White on black crimes,( haven’t heard of many) end with domestic terrorist committed by a white supremicist. .
