SONOMA COUNTY, CA — A man surrendered to police nearly three hours after a stabbing during a meet-and-greet with the Los Angeles rapper and internet personality Crip Mac at a Santa Rosa mall.
Marcus Temple, 26, arrived at the Santa Rosa Police Department at approximately 4:06 p.m. on Monday, according to police.
He was booked into the Sonoma County Main Adult Detention Facility on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
The stabbing happened about 1:10 p.m. inside the Santa Rosa Plaza Mall during an appearance with Crip Mac, whose real name is Trevor Hurd.
Santa Rosa police found a man with a stab wound to his back near the food court. Paramedics transported the man to a local hospital with serious injuries, but he is expected to survive.
Santa Rosa police said several people fought near a clothing store hosting the appearance with Crip Mac. Someone stabbed the victim once in the back with a knife during the fight, according to Santa Rosa police.
Many participants and witnesses left before officers arrived.
Mall security provided police with footage from mall cameras and individual shops. Detectives from the SRPD Gang Crimes Team identified Temple as the suspect. Officers searching the mall did not find Temple or the knife.
Detectives believe additional witnesses saw the incident and that bystanders recorded it on cell phones.
