This doesn't appear to be a random murder. Police said the two men knew each other.
A witness FOX 5 spoke to said he saw the crime unfold.
"When I came to the door, the man was stabbing him in his eyeball," the witness who did not want to be identified said. "I just walked out the backdoor, left, and told the custodian to call the police… It was like, demonic."
Others in the building told FOX 5 they are feeling very upset about all of this, and they want to know whether this was a random act. They said the man who was stabbed to death Friday was a handyman. He would wash people's cars around the area and was generally a "nice" person.
