Suspect Is Arrested in Slaying
From a Times Staff Writer
A suspect was arrested Friday night in the fatal stabbing of a Hawaiian Gardens Quickie Mart worker.
Michael Seamster, a 41-year-old resident of Cypress, was arrested in that city after residents called in tips to authorities, sheriff’s Deputy Tania Plunkett said.
On Monday, deputies responding to a robbery-in-progress call found Il Shin Chang, 49, stabbed to death inside the locked store. Nearby, deputies found a blood-soaked T-shirt believed to belong to the suspect, who witnesses saw tending a cut shortly after the crime, authorities said.
