Police have arrested a man in connection with the killing of a UCLA grad student. Last Thursday, Brianna Kupfer was working alone at the Croft House furniture store on La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles when a man walked in.

The 24-year-old sent a text to her friend at 1:36 p.m. saying there was someone in the store who was “giving her a bad vibe,” according to LAPD Lt. John Radke.

Roughly 14 minutes later, a customer walked into the store and found Kupfter dead on the floor, drenched in blood. Police said the suspect stabbed the young woman to death and then fled through the back door, adding that the assailant “was not known to the victim and was a random walk in to the store.” After the stabbing, officials shared surveillance video of a tall man in a dark hoodie, sunglasses, and a white N-95 mask walking away in the alley behind the store.

Different video released Tuesday showed the suspect at a 7-Eleven store 30 minutes after the killing. Police announced a $250,000 reward for any information on his whereabouts, noting the man was considered armed and dangerous while he was on the run.
