The Los Angeles Police Department identified 31-year-old Shawn Laval Smith as the suspected murderer of UCLA grad student Brianna Kupfer:

This “career criminal” was out on bail of only $1000 at the time of the murder:

And we do mean “career criminal”:
Just a few of the mugshots of Brianna Kupfer’s murderer, career criminal Shawn Laval Smith. He of course was out on bond when he stabbed her to death. Every person who voted Blue in Los Angeles has her blood on their hands. pic.twitter.com/5A02xlvMo3

He never should have been out on the street:
This scumbag is a career criminal who was out in bail in L.A. The backlash against woke district attorneys cannot come fast enough. https://t.co/OutViu5p0r

And he probably shouldn’t have been in the state:
If this guy was on $50,000 bond for a 2019 SHOOTING charge in SC, can someone explain to me why he wasn't sent immediately tf back there when he was arrested in CA in Oct 2020, which is against the rules of his bond?! BOND REVOKED. https://t.co/T0LsmDTKMi
