A student at the University of California, Davis was stabbed to death at a park, days after a similar attack, prompting the involvement of state authorities and the FBI as police search for a suspect.

Authorities are still working to determine any possible connection between Saturday’s killing of UC Davis senior Karim Abou Najm at Sycamore Park and last Thursday’s fatal stabbing of 50-year-old David Breaux at nearby Central Park.

The Yolo County coroner identified the victim in the Sycamore Park stabbing as Najm, who was described by UC Davis Chancellor Gary May in a letter to the community as an exceptional student who graduated from Davis High School and was majoring in computer science. May announced extra patrols on campus and the expansion of the UC Davis Police Safe Rides Program, which offers free rides and walking escorts to students moving around campus after dark.
