According to Fox 5 DC, Daniel allegedly engaged in a verbal altercation with Poston and Culley at the diner before the incident happened.
Poston and Culley left the restaurant, but later returned so that Poston could allegedly search for her missing $10. When the two re-entered the cafe, she reportedly yelled, “I’ll kill everyone in this store.”
Witnesses told police Daniel was standing near the diner’s kitchen when Poston grabbed a butter knife from the counter and stabbed him. Poston and Culley then fled the scene through a back door.
