Co-worker charged with murder in Cal State Fullerton stabbing

LOS ANGELES _ A man who police say fatally stabbed his co-worker, a retired Cal State Fullerton administrator, in a campus parking lot was charged Friday in the slaying.

Chuyen Van Vo, 51, is facing a murder charge along with two sentencing enhancements based on allegations that he used a deadly weapon in the attack and committed the murder by lying in wait, according to Orange County Superior Court records.

Police say Vo attacked Steven Shek Keung Chan, 57, in his vehicle, killing the former budget director who had returned to Cal State Fullerton as a consultant. Chan was stabbed multiple times inside his car, which was parked in a campus lot. Paramedics performed lifesaving measures on the man, who was bleeding from his head, but he died at the scene.

Fullerton police Lt. Jon Radus said the two men were both employed by Cal State Fullerton, and Vo specifically targeted Chan in the attack. However, the nature of their relationship remains unclear.

Police have not disclosed any potential motive in the attack.

Vo was arrested at his home in Huntington Beach late Wednesday and is being held without bail in Orange County Jail in Santa Ana.
