Police Chief Hank Stawinski said: “Something we have to question in terms of how we’re interacting with one another as a society, is how does a confrontation over cutting line lead to a death.
“People are asking how something so pointless could occur. This is pointless, this is disrespectful and that’s why I’m asking for the community’s help.”
Mr Davis suffered a single stab wound and was rushed to hospital, however he died 51 minutes later.
