OCCURRENCE OF EVENTS

A total of four people were stabbed.  Three people in their late thirties, possibly early forties and one elderly lady who was in her sixties.  But what hasn’t been disclosed is the rest of the story.  This madman successfully stabbed four people but he tried to stab a lot of others.  The madman’s name is Kevin Richards, age 27, who has a history of mental illness.  His mental  illness he had or has is unknown.

From my investigation the following is what happened. (This might not be in chronological order of how it really went down)  It started on the 12th floor were  this madman physically assaulted a man on that floor by trying to stab him and punched him. Kevin is a tenant of the building and he punched his roommate .  After he tried to kill his roommate , the madman grabbed a knife and started running through the building up and down the stair cases.

Kevin ran down to the 8th floor where he stabbed a man in the neck at his front door. The man that got stabbed  made his way into the stair case hoping the madman would chase him but instead Kevin forced his way into the apartment and stabbed a sixty year old lady in the neck in her own living room, this lady was the mother of the man who just got stabbed. After Kevin stabbed the old lady he ran out the front door and chased her son down the staircase.  The old lady courageously followed and chased the madman down the stairs hoping that she can help defend her son.  By that time her son was bleeding pretty bad and entered the 4th floor from the stair case.  He went down the hall to to get the other stair case located on the other side of the building and ran down the remaining flights of stairs where he opened the door to go outside and  went to Go Go Pizza.

He chased two 15 year old girls with the knife trying to stab them but both of them managed to get away on the 10th floor.  The time of when he chased the girls is unknown , whether if it was before or after the stabbing of man and his elderly mother is unknown but it most likely could’ve happened before the 8th floor incident.

After Kevin stabbed the two victims on the 8th floor, he made his way into an apartment on the 1st floor.  In the apartment there was two parents, a child and a dog.  Kevin began to stab the mother by attempting to stab her in the neck and face but she put her hands up and got her hands cut up. There was a little girl the age of nine sleeping in her room. The madman furiously started looking around the apartment to stab more victims and went and checked the bathroom.  Thank God he did not hurt the little girl.   After he opened the bathroom door the father came out of another room and Kevin attacked him by stabbing the father in the neck and head.  The madman also decided to stab the little girls dog.

After that Kevin forced his way into another apartment on the 1st floor where he started looking through their kitchen to obtain more knives. The courageous resident somehow subdued him and literally threw him off of the balcony.  There are other stories also floating around that Kevin didn’t get thrown but he jumped.

Kevin got back up on his feet, hopped the fence in the front parking lot and tried to break into Go Go Pizza and also tried to break into some tenant’s apartment above Go Go Pizza.  After being unsuccessful in the break and enter attempt he then  jumped off the second story balcony and sprained his ankle and continued to perpetuate his rampage.

Police later shot Kevin with rubber bullets, tazered him and took him into custody on a stretcher.  The surprising twist is how the police utilized their less lethal force tactics on a psycho killer but decided to use brutal deadly force on people who were no where near as a threat like this madman.

Kevin Richards has been arrested but still hasn’t been charged as of today (March 10th).  His roommate informed me that he has been informed that Kevin will not be around society life for at least ten years.

His roommate made mention that Kevin was acting strange a month before the incident by not “grooming himself” and keeping good hygiene.  The roommate believes that Kevin might be schizophrenic, a mental illness in which the person hears voices in their head that is not is theirs, but that is just the opinion of the roommate and not diagnosed by a doctor.
