Police at Cal State Fullerton say someone was killed on the campus at about 8:30 Monday morning. Students are advised to avoid Lot S College Park. A murder investigation is underway.
One person is dead, and there are reports that the victim was stabbed. It happened at about 8:30 Monday morning in Lot S College Park. It’s the first day of school at CSU Fullerton. Aerial footage shows a crime scene being processed on the parking lot.
Multiple reports indicate that a faculty member was stabbed to death and a suspect is on the loose. KTLA says the suspect is described as an Asian man in his 20s wearing dark clothing. They say the faculty members was a retired man who worked in international admissions.
Lieutenant Jon Radus with Fullerton Police thinks the stabbing was not random.
”The belief at this particular point in time, that the faculty member that is deceased – the victim in this case – was targeted.”
That victim – an Asian man in his fifties – died a little after eight-thirty Monday morning when he was stabbed multiple times in a university parking lot. Cal State Fullerton officials say he was a retired administrator who was working as a consultant. Investigators brought in bloodhounds to search for the suspect.
