Knife-wielding lunatic storms into random California family’s garage and slashes mom and daughter

A bloodthirsty lunatic was spotted roaming around Sacramento in newly released video that captured the moments before he ran into a California family’s garage and tried to brutally murder them.

Sacramento police collected video of 23-year-old Fareyeshyi Allahdin’s final moments before officers shot him dead, saving an elderly mother and her grown daughter.

The man was first seen wandering into a Starbucks armed with a “kitchen knife,” around 6:30 a.m. on July 15. He went behind the store counter as terrified employees hid from him.

In a 9-1-1 call, an employee said the man was “banging on everything” as the employees locked themselves in the back room of the store for safety.

“He entered behind our counter and was trying to push into our back door,” an employee said. “We had to barricade it.”

Allahdin is seen jogging with the knife in hand down the family’s street on Diablo Drive before entering their garage in the area of the 5700 block of Diablo Drive. As a 63-year-old mother attempted to get into her car, he intercepted her and began viciously stabbing her, police said.

Her 26-year-old daughter heard her screams and rushed to her aid. She heroically wrangled the man off of her mother, but he then turned his attack onto her.

Video shows the moment deputies arrived as the daughter struggled with him. Officers loudly ordered the man to drop his knife before quickly shooting him dead as he continued to stab the daughter.

The blood-soaked elderly mother is seen wandering around the vehicles as she awaited medical care.

Fire personnel pronounced Allahdin dead at the scene and transported the mother and daughter in serious but stable condition.

No officers were injured in the incident, and police believed the stabbings were random.

“Absolutely no relationship between any of them. This monster just saw an open garage, saw a victim and immediately started attacking,” Sgt. Edward Igoe, a Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, said.

A mugshot of the man was released along with the weapon he used to assault the family, a silver kitchen-style knife with a 7-to 8-inch blade.

The incident served as a sobering reminder of everyday danger Sacramento residents could encounter.

“I had my garage open at the same time – I got a wife, kids, so it’s just kind of hitting close to home,” one neighbor told KCRA.
