Police detained 28-year-old Los Angeles resident David Johnathan Brown on Friday night after the attack on professor Bosco Tjan, co-director of the Dornsife Cognitive Neuroimaging Center, according to Los Angeles Police Department Officer Mike Lopez said. Brown’s bail has been set at $1 million.
Police did not immediately disclose information about Brown, or say whether they were aware of any motives that may have led to the incident.
Officers responded to the stabbing around 4:30 p.m. in the campus’ Seeley G. Mudd building on McClintock Avenue. Tjan was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.
The professor joined the faculty in 2001. According to a USC website, his laboratory studied the “human visual system to address basic and translational questions pertaining to vision loss, restoration and rehabilitation.”
