LOS ANGELES » Los Angeles County prosecutors have charged a University of Southern California student with murder in the stabbing death of a professor.
The district attorney’s office says 28-year-old David Jonathan Brown will be arraigned today.
The case includes a special allegation that Brown personally used a deadly weapon to kill 50-year-old Siaufung “Bosco” Tjan in the professor’s office.
