Investigators are still trying to determine a motive for the attack.
However, a source told this reporter that the attack was personal.
According to a source with knowledge of the attack against Dr. Mammone, Smith or a family member of Smith was a disgruntled patient.
According to ABC 7, a neighbor who witnessed the attack heard the suspect uttering racial slurs about “white privilege.”
“ABC7 spoke with a neighbor who declined to be interviewed on camera. She said her family heard what sounded like a “gunshot” before the attack. When they ran outside, she said, they heard the suspect uttering racial slurs about “white privilege.”” the outlet reported.
“We are stunned by this devastating tragedy. The entire Mission Hospital family is grieving over the loss of an incredible physician and friend.” – Mission Hospital said in a statement.
Smith was booked into the Orange County Jail and has yet to be charged.
