Surveillance video released by the Los Angeles Police Department shows Silva getting something to drink."Mr. Ignacio Silva walks out of the store and is not even making eye contact, has no idea that the suspect is approaching him from the rear, and stabs him multiple times and runs away," said LAPD Capt. Adrian Gonzalez.The suspect then got into a dark-colored sedan and drove off. He remains on the run.
Silva's family, his wife and three children attended a news conference Wednesday announcing a $50,000 reward for information on the case."We suspect he's still in the area," said Gonzalez."Very few people come in, especially that area, 55 and Normandie, to commit a crime. It's rare. I'm not saying that's not the case, but it's rare. We're leaning more to the person living somewhere in South L.A. and just driving by and committing this senseless act.
Detectives are still searching for a motive and don't know if there's a connection between Silva and the suspect.Anyone with information is urged to contact police.
