Cal State Fullerton faculty member killed on campus; suspect still on the run

A Cal State Fullerton faculty member was stabbed to death Monday morning, the first day of the academic year, and the assailant is still on the run, police said.

Fullerton police responded to reports of an armed assault with the help of a deadly weapon at 8:30 am in the parking lot near the College Park building. Police found the victim, a man in his fifties, inside an Infiniti of money, who was bleeding in the head with multiple gunshot wounds. .

The suspect, a man in his twenties years with black hair, wearing black pants and a black shirt, was last seen heading to the Marriott area, police said.

"Do not face the suspects," said the Cal State Police Department Fullerton.

Police believe that the faculty member, who was working in international student affairs at the university, was targeted, said Lt. Jon Radus of the Fullerton Police Department. Radus said that the detectives did not know what motivated the attack.

"We do not think there is a random stab at the moment," he said.

Radus said the campus police were aware of no threat to the man killed.
