'His wife and daughter witnessed the whole thing. Nobody called the police, they just sat and watched. I can't get my head around it.'
A Kelowna mother is grieving her son after he was stabbed to death in front of a downtown Vancouver Starbucks Sunday evening.
The stabbing was captured on cell phone video and shared on social media. The video is extremely graphic and disturbing and is not being published by Castanet. Investigators do not believe the victim and suspect knew each other, however the circumstances that led up to the incident remain under investigation.
The mother added she wants to see the charges adjusted to first-degree murder instead of second-degree. First-degree murder requires the Crown to prove that the killing was both planned and deliberate.Fundraiser launched Schmidt is on her way to Vancouver to help her daughter-in-law and granddaughter who are now left without a husband, father and source of income.
The organizer of the GoFundMe has asked people not to share the horrific cell phone video that captured Paul Schmidt's final moments as he lay bleeding in front of the Starbucks.
