Black on white murder

UCLA student Brianna Kupfer’s brutal murder was recorded by madman who stabbed her 46 times after ‘hunting for a woman alone’: prosecutors

A homeless madman who butchered UCLA student Brianna Kupfer in 2022 recorded of the horrifying attack in which he stabbed her 46 times and left her to bleed out, prosecutors said. 

Shawn Laval Smith, 34, was “hunting for a woman alone” when he ambushed 24-year-old Kupfer at the boutique furniture store where she worked, according to Los Angeles County district attorneys. 

He then left an audio recorder that he used to document the attack and a filet knife — bent in the frenzied attack and smeared in Kupfer’s blood with Smith’s DNA on the handle — at the scene cops reveled.

The jury convicted Smith, who has a lengthy criminal record, of murder on Tuesday – agreeing he attacked her with a knife after “lying in wait.”
