Surveillance footage showed suspect Jackson Julian Sagesse Jr., 21, approaching Hosford’s parked Mercedes. As she tried to re-enter the car, he forced the door open and stabbed her multiple times. A male friend returned during the assault and was stabbed in the throat while trying to intervene but survived and alerted police.
Hosford was found unresponsive and pronounced dead at 2:01 a.m. Police arrested Sagesse at his nearby apartment. Two steak knives—one in his pocket and one in the car—matched his kitchen set. He later confessed, saying chillingly, “I just killed someone and walked away.”
