Los Angeles police identified the man they say stabbed UCLA student Brianna Kupfer to death inside a high-end furniture store where she worked, hours after offering a record-breaking $250,000 reward for information leading to the suspected killer.
Shawn Laval Smith, 31, was considered armed and dangerous and “highly likely to be using public transportation,” the LAPD announced Tuesday.
Covina Police Department officials said Smith was arrested and released from jail without paying bail in October of 2020 after being cited for a misdemeanor, but the father of the victim told The Post he “heard his rap sheet is much worse.”

LAPD identifies Brianna Kupfer’s ‘killer’ as a career criminal with dozens of arrests who was out on $1K bail
Smith is a career criminal with a long rap sheet spanning both coasts, and is currently free on a $1,000 bond from a misdemeanor arrest in Los Angeles County in October 2020, sheriff’s records show.
The nature of that charge wasn’t immediately clear, and it was also unclear why the case still hadn’t been brought to a trial or a plea deal 15 months later.
A spokesperson for Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, who took office in December 2020 with a vow to stop prosecuting many misdemeanors, did not immediately respond to an inquiry from DailyMail.com on Tuesday night.
Smith is also currently free on a $50,000 bond in Charleston, South Carolina in relation to a November 2019 arrest on suspicion of firing a weapon into an occupied vehicle, court records show.

Ignoring enforcing the law by D.A.’s or police is just another form of breaking the law and deserves every bit the same punishment given to them as that earned by the perpetrator of the crimes.
Which as i have said, is WHY WE NEED TO START criminally charging every bloody DA who keeps this revolving door of arrest-bail-recommit crime’, AS AN accessory, to every crime commited, by the CRIMINALS THEY KEEP freeing!
I’m sure dat baby momma needed some high-end furniture for her taxpayer funded apartment. These dogs can do whatever and there is always a democrat that will come out to defend these filthy criminals. When people turn vigilante then maybe those in charge will stop this insanity. That’s when not if. America is sick of the hard working Americans who pay their own way being slaughtered by this scum and the scum being defended on our tax dollars . Enough!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE COULD really do with some proper vigilantes, preferably with super powers to make these REPEAT CRIMINALS< PERMANENTLY Disappear….
“Smith is a career criminal with a long rap sheet spanning both coasts and is currently free on a $1,000 bond from a misdemeanor arrest in Los Angeles County in October 2020, sheriff’s records show.”

All law enforcement haters—BLM—Antifa—race baiters—yet another case that doesn’t support your narrative. At least offer your condolences to the family—as empty as those words may be.
A spokesperson for Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, who took office in December 2020 with a vow to stop prosecuting many misdemeanors, It will be up to the Democrats to decide what is a misdemeanor and who will be prosecuted.
Note that this is a Democrat Ruled City and State who needs the Black and illegal immigrant’s votes.
So if you are Black or an illegal immigrant the Treasonous Democrat Party will protect, not prosecute, support, housing and provide free medical for their Democrat Party votes.
Times like this, we need to just put BOUNTIES ON THESE repeat criminals heads..
Dead or alive… Just like back in the days of the old wild west.
OR maybe we need a few DOZEN ROBO COP like androids, to start working for us, dispensing justice.. ON THE SPOT.
Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón should be thrown in prison for being an accessory, for all of the crimes committed in Los Angeles. Gascon is an enabler of evil. Gascon is a disciple of the devil. God rest this young lady’s soul in peace. What ashamed losing a beautiful young lady to a career criminal.
ITS EVERY leftist DA, who keeps PUSHING these agendas that keep letting these career criminals free…
You just can’t breed the jungle out of some of them. Can we send them back now ?? We can keep the 13% that are .republicans, they are the ones that work law abiding citizens.
You can take the animals out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the animals. Some just cannot be domesticated and default to feral when the heat hits the fan.
Elsewhere i was called racist for saying it. BUT IF THEY WISH TO keep showing they are nothing BUT RABID ANIMALS< then by damn, we should TREAT THEM LIKE rabid animals… AND START putting down the LOT of them.
