A candy store employee is facing murder charges after allegedly attacking a woman outside the Tacoma store with a "samurai-like" sword.
Abdelhakim Choubabi, 52, murdered the woman outside the Candy Market in the 700 block of Market Street around 7:50 p.m. on April 30, according to court records.
Tacoma police say they were called to the scene by a resident nearby who saw what they described as a woman being hit multiple times with a pole of some kind.
The woman was found dead from multiple stab wounds about 20 feet outside the store entrance. Choubabi, though, had left in a vehicle the store owner owns.
Officers say they soon learned the woman was homeless and stayed in the area for quite some time. Not long later, Choubabi returned. Officers arrested him and took him to TPD headquarters.
There, Choubabi allegedly admitted to killing her, even saying he planned to do it.
Court records say Choubabi told them the victim had stolen items from the store the same day and he was "tired" of her stealing, "smelling bad" and her urinating outside the store.
He even told police he called them earlier in the day to have her move but nothing was done because she was moving away by the time they got there.
Later, she allegedly went back in and stole condoms and sunglasses. This time, Choubabi told police he went outside and took the merchandise back, leading to her hitting him in the back of the head with something.
Choubabi said he kept walking into the store, grabbed the sword, came outside and hit the woman in the face with it before stabbing her.
Choubabi said the woman did not have any weapons on her and was lying down underneath a blanket when he stabbed her. Police searched the store and did find what they call a "samurai-like sword."
First thing I thought of when I saw the headline.😏
Allah Wahoo Whackbar! ( sarc.)
I’m waiting for secret vigilante groups to form to wipe out junkies, panhandlers, rioters etc.
While the murder is inexcusable and an extreme reaction, it does demonstrate perfectly the scale of the homeless problem that governments are creating and encouraging. We simply can’t continue to live this way. Something has got to give. People can’t take it anymore.
Precisely. People can’t take it anymore. They are hitting their limit with lawlessness and societal decay.

Hoe picky are you?
Never mind machetes. Which I think are highly “useful”.
Not one iota.
They have been so prophetic over the years
