The suspect is the partner of the victim, so police have labeled it a domestic-violence incident, according to ABC7. The LAPD spokesman said he did not know whether the incident was labeled as domestic violence. However, Fox11 reported that the woman who was stabbed “was not involved in the fight, she was trying to help a child get out of the way when she was stabbed.”
TMZ reported that it related to a “new shoe release.” According to TMZ, the suspect initially fled the scene in a Hyundai.
According to TMZ, Foot Locker released Nike Dunks shoes the day of the stabbing, so a line had formed outside of people hoping to get the shoes.
TMZ reported that there was “some argument between two separate parties in the line for the shoes, which sparked a physical fight, leading to the stabbing.”
According to Fight Club.com, “The Nike Dunk hit the hardwood for the first time in 1985 and was designed with basketball performance in mind. The silhouette expanded on the success of the Air Force 1 by showcasing the design’s versatility with color combinations, especially for college programs. It returned to the market in 1998 as a casual sneaker and was eventually converted into a skater’s shoe with added padding for the Nike SB line in 2002.”
