Channel 9′s Almiya White spoke with an officer investigating this case. He said this incident was not a random act of violence.
“Unfortunately, there are these acts where people will take violence to one another instead of trying to dispute it verbally. They take it and commit violent acts,” Major Ryan Jackson told White.
