Overview
- The homicide unit asked anyone who filmed the scene shortly before, during, or after the stabbing to share the footage with police, noting the busy location makes bystander videos likely.
- A judge ordered pretrial detention for the 40-year-old on suspicion of manslaughter and two counts of attempted manslaughter after prosecutors said no legal trait of murder is evident at this stage.
- The 38-year-old mother and her nine-year-old daughter remain in intensive care in stable condition, while the 13-year-old son died at the scene.
