Friends of downtown business owner Shannon Kathleen Collins mourned her loss Tuesday after police identified her as the victim of Monday's "unprovoked, random" stabbing.
Longtime friend Timerie Gordon said those who knew Collins were "very angry and sad and trying to make sense of something that will never be sensible."
Collins, 38, co-owner of Camouflage on Pacific Avenue, was walking back from a hairdresser's appointment when police say she was "savagely" attacked about 11:50 a.m. on the 300 block of Broadway.
Minutes later, after a number of calls to 911, police arrested 43-year-old Charles Anthony Edwards III of San Francisco on suspicion of murder. Authorities declined to say how the encounter started and what led to her vicious slaying.
"She didn't know him and was not involved with him in any way," Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark said. "It was just the misfortune of fate that she crossed paths with him."

Hell, pepper spray would have helped.

My guess he is an anti-white crazy. The left blathers on and on about “enviroment”, so did this vermin have a Rev. Wright influenced enviroment?

Richmond VA WRVA Radio does a “crimestoppers” break put on by Richmond PD detective squad looking for people of interest. When ever they describe a suspect they USUALLY leave off the race! I have noticed when the suspect is white they say causcasion. So if they don’t mention race the suspect should be assumed to be black. Can you believe that for PC?!

I'm a born suspect! Sad but true, people see color first and assume that I'm up to no-good.

As an offhand (but highly educated) guess, I'd say a combination of yellow sclera and liver disease.

You cannot give a police description of person with saying their race. To think otherwise is plain stupid or pandering to a race.
