DailyKenn.com — Angel Snell, 26, was fatally stabbed in Winter Haven, FL.
Kenneth Lawrence Foresyth Jr., 21, was charged with second-degree murder.
Officers responded to a report of a stabbing at a construction site near the old Banyon Beach Motel. A witness informed investigators that the victim, identified as Snell, was arguing with Foresyth, a homeless man, when he attacked her. The media often cloaks attacks as "arguments".
First responders attempted to save Snell's life, and EMS transported her to the hospital, but she later succumbed to her injuries. Video footage from the night of the incident linked Foresyth to the crime.
When shown the footage of himself fleeing the scene, Foresyth claimed he was running because a pebble had gotten into his shoe.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Foresyth had been inside the shipping container where the murder occurred on that same night. According to police, he had started a small fire outside the container, and during an ensuing altercation, he stabbed Snell multiple times before fleeing the scene. He later disposed of the knife and his clothes.
The witness reported hearing Snell cry out that she had been stabbed and immediately rushed to help her. He carried her to Inman Park, where someone allowed him to use their phone to call 911.
Detectives noted that Foresyth admitted he did not call 911 to get Snell help and did not see her with a weapon during the altercation.
