Brian Takahashi, died early Saturday morning after being stabbed in an alley near Queen St. W. and Portland St. at 2:25 a.m.

I can safely tell you that the person who killed Brian Takahashi will be caught. The timeline, description, and sequence of events suggest it only takes one phone call from a friend of the suspect to place him in jail.

First of all, the suspect was with friends 1 hour before the incident, at the murder scene. They were prodding the victims with a camera, getting in their face, until they backed off out of fear. Then one of them came back by himself, armed with a knife (First degree murder).

The 'HAT' tattoo should give away who this was, and will mostr likely be a key reason for being turned in.

I heard that Brian Takashami's friend is not cooperting with police, which is detrimental to the case, especially when it is before the courts.

There are so many angles for the police to approach this case for early closure, and my hopes are with them, as should everyone's.

The killer probably did not have his knife with him the first time, but returned with it. I doubt that he had his knife at a friends house, suggesting that his place is close by. He must have been extremely skilled with the weapon in order to inflict this type of damage on two people. Yet again enforcing the notion that he lives in the area and went to his own place to grab his knife. I can't imagine it being a kitchen knife that was grabbed from a buddies place. This is a specific knife which the killer was most likely trained with in martial arts.
