Police in Renton, WA accuse a 22-year old man of stabbing to death his 11-year old brother “in broad daylight,” KIRO 7 reported.
Murphy Hun died of stab wounds near his family’s home in Renton, Washington.
Police say Hun had run out of his home to escape his brother, 22-year-old Bobby Hun, following a “violent interaction.” The older Hun then allegedly stabbed his younger brother with a kitchen knife.
Neighbor Thomas Rountree told KIRO 7 he “never in a million years” expected to witness a stabbing of a young boy.
“I got closer and I just saw all this blood,” Rountree said. “It literally looked like the kid got into a shower and was just drenched in blood.”
