Man Found Guilty of Murdering UCLA Student Inside Store

September 11, 2024

Jurors took just an hour to convict a man on trial for the stabbing death of UCLA grad student Brianna Kupfer. The 24-year-old was working alone in a luxury furniture store when the killer stabbed her 46 times. After the guilty verdict, Shawn Laval Smith was led away in handcuffs. The key to the killer's conviction was an audio recording that prosecutors say he made as he stabbed Kupfer to death. The killer can be heard ordering Kupfer to get down on the floor.
