Police are planning to increase security on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood following the fatal stabbing of a 23-year-old girl by drifters.

As I have mentioned, Christine Calderon was taking photos of panhandlers when she was stabbed. KABC reported that they asked for $1 (€0.76) and they stabbed her once noting that she was refusing to give in to their demand.

The girl's mother, Yolonde Tassin is disabled and Christine acted as her nurse, helping her get by. Three people have been arrested in Christine's death, two of whom are accessories.

"These incidents may happen, but this one just horrified us at our core. We will not let this stand. We're going to make sure that there's police resources there, not just in the coming weeks, but for a longer period of time to reassure both locals and visitors," said Los Angeles mayor-elect Eric Garcetti.
