PASADENA, Calif. - Shawn Laval Smith, the suspected killer of Brianna Kupfer, was taken into custody Wednesday in Pasadena in connection with the 24-year-old UCLA grad student's stabbing death, authorities confirmed to FOX 11.

He was arrested by Pasadena police officers around 11:50 a.m. at a bus stop near the intersection of E. Colorado Boulevard and Fair Oaks Avenue, approximately 17 miles from the furniture store where Kupfer was murdered, officials said.

Los Angeles police launched a hunt for Smith, 31, after Kupfer was found stabbed to death in a random daytime attack at a luxury furniture store last week. Smith remained on the loose early Wednesday and police have said that he should be considered armed and dangerous.

A combined $250,000 reward was being offered to help Los Angeles Police track down Smith.

They will slam him with house detention for two days and a larger-than-normal welfare check to help get his life back on track...

Would rather he slips in the shower and cracks his skull. Fatally.

I remember back in the seventies when Jerry Brown and Rose Bird made sure the most grievous sex offenders were sent to Atascadero for a brief vacation. California elected George Deukmajian as governor, then promptly forgot what sanity was.

“He was arrested by Pasadena police officers around 11:50 a.m.”

The DA released him on $1,000 bail at 12:00 noon with the severe admonition “Now be a good boy and don’t do that again.”

You don't know George Gascon. He was the DA in SF prior Boudin. He ran his own private catch n release program. 9 strikes and maybe your out. He has the reverse midas touch.

Everything he touches turns to Shiite.
