Following the incident, he confessed to an online girlfriend that he stabbed Pharrell in the heart by accident, although he initially claimed self-defense. Witness testimony revealed prior tensions between the two friends, culminating in the tragic event that led to Pharrell's death despite efforts by the public and paramedics to save him.
The defendant confessed to an online girlfriend that he accidentally killed Pharrell, claiming he intended to stab him in the leg instead.
