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.
Now he’s Inderdeep Doo-Doo.
I am sure anti-gun activists around the world are satisfied that nobody involved was shot.

I’m guessing a bullet will make someone twice as dead.
He was inside the store, and vapes are not pens anymore. Closer to a fog machine.
The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk—
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.

They may be divorced or she may be dead or left him with the child.
You assumed that the toddler is the child of the fiancée?.............
It’s unusual for a Sikh to do such an outrageous thing, unless he just got off the boat from Booneyhoputal India...................
The guy acted like a jerk, but didn’t deserve to be brutally murdered for it.
I’m appalled by all of these comments blaming the murder victim.
