In Davis, Calif., a town that usually bustles with bikers and joggers on almost every street and path, its parks bursting with the sights and sounds of youth sports, city life is suddenly eerily quiet after a string of stabbings.
Amid a series of brutal and seemingly random stabbings that have left two men dead and a woman in critical condition, life in Davis is proceeding as if under a curfew.
The unease began with Thursday’s fatal stabbing of a well-known town character, 50-year-old David Henry Breaux, a Stanford University graduate who slept in the town’s Central Park and was known for his gentle proselytizing on the need for human compassion. Two days later, on Saturday night, UC Davis student Karim Abou Najm, 20, was viciously stabbed and killed about 9:15 p.m. in Sycamore Park in a residential neighborhood near campus as he biked home from an event at the university.
