Daniel was allegedly involved in a verbal altercation with Poston and Culley inside the restaurant before the incident happened, court documents revealed, according to Fox 5 DC.
Poston and Culley left the restaurant, but later returned so Poston could allegedly search for her missing $10. When the two reentered the café, she reportedly yelled, “I will kill everybody in this store.”
Witnesses told police that Daniel was standing near the kitchen area of the restaurant when Poston grabbed a butter knife off the counter and stabbed him. Poston and Culley then fled the scene through a rear door.
