Daymond Agnew, a Muslim man, reportedly told investigators that "the Raiders are favored by Allah." Agnew, 34, stabbed 51-year-old Daniel Stone because he tried to call the police after he painted his face in the back of the hardware store.
A northern California man has been charged for randomly stabbing a hardware store clerk 17 times to death with a folding knife because the clerk tried to call the police as he spray painted his face the colors of the NFL Oakland Raiders.
Mary Knox, Deputy District Attorney, said that Agnew believed he was following "Allah's direction" in killing Stone.
Stone was stabbed after Agnew became upset that Stone would not let him help him with picking out colors for a customer. Agnew went to the back of the store and spray painted his face black and silver. The store manager ran to the front of the store and told his employee, Stone, to call the police. Agnew stabbed Stone because he said 'I don't like the police'.
Agnew fled the scene of the crime and was found at the store owner's home. No one else was hurt.
According to Sfgate, "Agnew's Facebook page, which has since been taken down, was filled with religious messages referring to his adherence to Islam as well as pictures of passages in the Quran."
Agnew has previous convictions for a weapons violation and a fraudulent use of an access card.
Agnew is being charged with stabbing Stone to death with a knife. He is being held at the County Jail in Martinez on $1 million bail.
