The suspect behind the grisly stabbing-death of a UCLA graduate student was reportedly out on $1,000 bail at the time of the murder.
“Shawn Laval Smith, the suspected killer of 24-year-old UCLA grad student Brianna Kupfer, has a decade-long criminal history that spans both coasts,” reports Fox News. “Los Angeles police have launched a hunt for Smith, 31, after Kupfer was found stabbed to death at her furniture store job last week. Smith remained on the loose early Wednesday and police have said that he should be considered armed and dangerous.”
31-year-old Shawn Laval Smith has been identified in connection with the murder of Brianna Kupfer, which occurred in the 300 block of North La Brea Avenue on January 13, 2022. He should be considered armed and dangerous. If seen do not approach, call 911. pic.twitter.com/jZlESB9l9r

“Grizzly”? Really? Try “grisly” next time.
The DA should be held accountable. The parents should sue the state, judge, DA. This is ridiculous that he was out bond. Lesson needs to be learned!
I am sickened by the ridiculous behavior the DA and this administration! How freaking dare they dismiss this horrific crime as less than a speeding ticket! They should all be fired or worse. Put in jail themselves!
this is impossible, judge who set bail, DA who refused to charge this murdering thug, should be arrested and charged for fomenting, aiding and abetting CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
Humanity does not have to tolerate this conduct from any elected or appointed.
The Community Alert warning SHOULD have read…”do not approach, shoot repeatedly from a safe distance”.
Hold these DAs and other politicians, judges etc. accountable for their coddling, progressive policies.
You have to b kidding????????? When is anyone out there going to come to their senses???? I guess when it really comes close to home.
This is a misleading headline. The attacker is currently behind bars being held on 2 million dollars bail. At the time of this horrific attack is when he was out on one thousand dollars bail for other crimes he had committed. Just to set the record straight 🙂
