1 dead after stabbing at Detroit liquor store
A victim was stabbed to death at Sunshine Market on Livernois in Detroit.
According to the witness, the victim was inside the store on Livernois near Bourke street when he offered to help a woman who appeared to be short on money. After the interaction, the woman went outside, called her associate or boyfriend inside, and pointed the victim out when he arrived.
That was when the stabbing happened.
The victim was stabbed again, according to witnesses, multiple times in the neck and then was still able to walk out of the store and was then taken to the hospital where he died.
"To drag a person over a fight in just seems ridiculous! Most people need help," the witness said. "People don’t get their therapy and real help, half the people waking the street you see a guy at McDonald's, strip down, come down to that."
What's next:
The store turned the video over to police early this morning. FOX 2 has requested the video from police and reached out to the ME for the identity of the victim.
