Waiter Stabbed After Sunday Night Shift
LOS ANGELES -- Authorities Wednesday circulated a composite drawing of a suspect in the stabbing death of a waiter, who had just finished his shift at the Marmalade Cafe in the Fairfax District when he was attacked Sunday night.
Eric Gelman, 32, was walking to his car in the 7900 block of West First Street when he was accosted about 10 p.m. Sunday. Gelman, who had recently moved to Los Angeles from Florida to pursue an acting career, was pronounced dead at a hospital, said Lt. Ed Winter of the coroner's office.
A woman who resides in the neighborhood, which is about half a block from The Grove shopping complex where Gelman worked, said residents saw him being attacked and called 911, but it was too late.
Although the motive appeared to be robbery, police are uncertain why the victim was stabbed. Police described the suspect as a bearded black man about 35-40 years old, around 6 feet tall and weighing about 180 pounds. He was wearing dark clothing.
