A man is in custody following the fatal stabbing of a Canadian father who reportedly asked the suspect to not vape in front of his three-year-old daughter, authorities say.
Inderdeep Singh Gosal, 32, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder following the broad-daylight stabbing of 37-year-old Paul Stanley Schmidt outside of a Vancouver Starbucks on March 27, Global News reported. The graphic incident, which was shared on social media, was witnessed by multiple bystanders who looked on as Schmidt fell to the ground bleeding.
Vancouver police apprehended the suspect after witnesses detained him. Schmidt received first aid and was rushed to a local hospital, where he later died, First Post reported.
Schmidt was reportedly standing outside the Starbucks with his three-year-old daughter while his fiancée Ashley Umali was getting drinks inside. The “devoted” father reportedly requested Gosal stop vaping near his daughter, who was in a stroller, when he was fatally stabbed, according to The Vancouver Sun.
“It all started because he was vaping beside the baby. Ashley’s in shock, she watched the whole thing. She’s so devastated,” the victim’s mother, Kathy Schmidt, told the outlet. “He was just trying to protect his daughter. I’m angry and I’m sad,” she continued.
Video of the graphic stabbing was widely shared on social media, further upsetting Schmidt’s loved ones who pleaded for people to not watch or repost the “incredibly traumatizing” footage. “Someone took my brother’s life yesterday and another person filmed it (do NOT watch) instead of calling the police, and worse off, posted it on social media very clearly for views,” Jessica Foxx Foto stated, according to the outlet.
Vancouver’s mayor, Ken Sim expressed his horror over the stabbing, tweeting, “This is an awful and tragic story to hear about. Nobody should ever feel unsafe walking around out city. Our hearts go out to Mr Schmidt and his family.
Well, When was he released on an appearance ticket?
I saw that yesterday. It was bad! Life is so short and fragile.
Inderdeep Singh Gosal, indicates that he’s possibly a Sikh. Kinda unusual for a Sikh to do something as outrageous as this...................
I saw the video of that and it was brutal. The guy left a lot of blood outside the coffee shop as he stumbled outside and collapsed. Guns are a no-no in Canada, but are knives better? The knife itself was probably illegally carried anyway. It makes one think about buying chain mail and wearing it constantly.
A Sikh is always armed........................
So should we be.
Dad seems like a jerk, but murder is an extreme response.
With them, it’s a societal religious thing.
They carry knives, and the know how to use them.
Now, in certain situations they carry fake knives to keep up appearances.............
Might be a Sikh but he didn’t have a turban in that video. I guess there are probably non-observant Sikhs just like there are non-observant Jews though.
The guy should have just moved the stroller.
“Inderdeep Singh Gosal, 32, was arrested and charged…”
Those racist, white conservatives are at it again!!!
Possibly so. SINOs.....................
Beautiful!.................
“ Inderdeep Singh Gosal”
Sounds French Canadian
Why did Indira Ghandi switch deodorants?
Because her right guard was killing her.
Sad Trombone noise side effects....
They were Sikh bodyguards.
I win the internet today.
