There is an arrest in the fatal stabbing of a retired Cal State Fullerton administrator

An arrest has been made in the fatal stabbing of a retired California State University Fullerton administrator, multiple local media outlets reported Thursday.

Steven Shek Keung Chan, 57, a former budget director at the university, was found Monday in a car in a campus parking lot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A press conference is planned for 4 p.m. ET

Fullerton police on Tuesday released a sketch and video of a suspect who apparently sought Chan and stabbed him to death, according to the authorities.

The surveillance video showed the suspect running near the crime scene and leaving a parking lot in a black 4-door sedan with black wheels and dark tinted windows believed to be a newer model BMW X6.

Police believe Chan’s assailant left a backpack holding an incendiary device and items that could be used for an abduction beneath the car, authorities said. The backpack also had a knife, which was not used in the stabbing, along with zip ties, wigs, and other disguise materials, police said.

Chan had retired as a budget director in 2017 and recently returned to work as a consultant in the international student affairs office.
