WILL A SOROS-BACKED DA RELEASE HIM?


Police arrested the man they say stabbed UCLA student Brianna Kupfer to death inside a high-end Los Angeles furniture store, authorities announced on Wednesday.

Shawn Laval Smith, 31, was arrested after a tip led police to a bus stop in Pasadena on Wednesday morning, a day after authorities offered a record-breaking $250,000 reward for information leading to his capture, police said.

“I can confirm officers from Pasadena PD did take Mr. Smith into custody earlier today,” Pasadena Police Lt. William Grisafe told The Post. “We had been notified by a community member, that they believed the wanted person was at the bus bench located at Colorado Blvd. and Fair Oaks Ave.”

Kupfer was killed Jan. 13 in a random attack as she worked alone in the store at Croft House on North La Brea Ave. She had texted a friend to say someone came into the store and was “giving her a bad vibe,” LAPD Lt. John Radtke said at a news conference earlier this week.

Smith allegedly left through the back door without taking anything, cops said. He was seen calmly walking down the street, according to cops.
