LOS ANGELES (KNX) — Police have labeled the murder of a woman found stabbed to death Thursday inside the Hancock Park furniture store where she worked at as a random act of violence.
The Los Angeles Police Department is now on the hunt for the man who killed 24-year-old Brianna Kupfer of Pacific Palisades.
