Casino goer is stabbed to death at the table in random attack in front of horrified patrons and employees

A 29-year-old man was murdered in a completely random and brutal attack at a Washington casino.

While the victim was standing at a table at Muckleshoot Casino, near the town of Auburn, another man snuck up behind him and then cut him in the neck. The 29-year-old died in the casino.

The victim, whose identity authorities have not released, was not related to the suspected killer. The suspect is 31 years old and police have not released the person’s name.

Auburn authorities received a call about the attack around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

Authorities are calling the killing a “completely random act.”

Police spokesperson Kolby Crossley emphasized how terrifying the incident was, describing how the victim was unaware of the danger:

“It’s a frightening and terrible situation that happened and this person had no idea what was going to happen to him,” Crossley said.

The killer also made no attempt to hide his heinous act.

Crossley told it Fox13 the brutal stabbing ‘happened in the casino on the casino floor’

‘There were a lot of people around. There were a lot of cameras,” he said. The suspect was arrested at the scene ‘without incident’.

Auburn authorities believe the two men had no relationship or contact before the murder, which took place on the casino floor in front of shocked patrons.

The Auburn Police Department has now launched an investigation into the case, but investigators are faced with an incredibly intimidating and confusing case.

Because the killer and the victim had no previous contact with each other, it will be difficult to determine a motive.

But law enforcement in Auburn remains optimistic. Crossley said: ‘We’re going to find out why and how and what led this person to act so horribly.’

In a news release, authorities said they responded to “a report of a stabbing at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort” around 1:30 a.m. on April 21.

‘When officers arrived on scene, they found a man (29) with a stab wound to the neck. Despite life-saving measures, the victim was later pronounced dead at the scene.”

The press release went on to say that “early investigation shows that this stabbing was a completely random act.”

‘The victim was standing at one of the tables and the suspect (31) walked up behind him and stabbed him in the neck.’

The statement added that “investigators believe the victim and suspect had not been in contact prior to the incident.”
