A vigil was held in Los Angeles for 24-year-old Brianna Kupfer who was killed in the middle of the afternoon at a furniture store.
Los Angeles community members gathered for a vigil outside the furniture store where a 24-year-old employee was killed in the middle of the afternoon.
Brianna Kupfer was attacked with a knife while she worked alone at the store on Jan. 13. Kupfer had texted a friend that afternoon saying someone in the store was giving her a "bad vibe," Los Angeles Police Department Lt. John Radke said at a Tuesday news conference.
Community members brought flowers, candles and posters to a Thursday vigil for the slain 24-year-old, who, when not working at the Croft House furniture store, was taking design courses through UCLA Extension, a continuing education program.
"I'm the parent of a girl two years younger than her. It's shocking to me that this happened here or anywhere in our city," resident Sherry Gonzalez told ABC Los Angeles station KABC.
