She is survived by her mother, father, two brothers, Brandon and Tucker, and her sister Mikaela.
Who killed Brianna Kupfer?
At this time, it remains unclear who fatally stabbed Kupfer.
The suspect reportedly fled the scene by going through the back door of the furniture store and then calmly walked down an alley.
The motive for the attack also remains unclear.
It was revealed by Dr. Jennifer Botelho, the owner of a chiropractic office nearby, that the suspect had gone into her store prior to the stabbing.
“He came in and asked a couple of questions: ‘Do you do orthopedics here?’ What kind of care we provide and then he left. So he was just here for a few minutes,” Botelho told CBSLA.
“It’s terrifying. It’s horrible. She’s such a young girl. … We feel so horrible for Brianna’s family, and hope we can catch this guy,” she added.
The suspect is described as a tall, thin Black male wearing a dark hoody, sunglasses, a white N-95 mask, dark-colored skinny jeans, and dark-colored shoes, according to People.
