According to the police, a physical altercation between Hosford and Sagesse was captured on CCTV in which the Sagesse could be seen making repeated stabbing motions into the car. Sagesse could then be seen exiting the car, and is confronted by Ms Horsford's friend, with the two involved in a "violent confrontation" before Sagesse stabs the unnamed man in the throat.

He managed to escape and later called the police, with Sagesse allegedly returning to the vehicle and mounting a failed bid to escape before he is seen searching the area and then leaving the garage.

Police arrived at the scene to find Hosford unresponsive having suffered multiple stab wounds to her neck and throat. She was pronounced dead at 2.01am. Her friend, who survived the attack, suffered a puncture wound to the throat. Hosford was a successful hair stylist who owned her own beauty salon in Fort Lauderdale.

She also worked as a teacher and ambassador for a yoga and retreat company. Her friends have remembered the stylist as a "force to be reckoned with".

Aubrey Rosebrock told local outlet WSVN she believed her friend "fought" and that "she was scared" during the encounter that claimed her life. She said: "I know she was a fighter; I believe she fought, and I believe she was scared." Mr Rosebeck also revealed the heartbreaking final message he received from Ms Horsford.

He said: "Her very last message to me was, ‘I just wanted to tell you that the sun is shining, the sky is blue, the water is turquoise, and that I love you much, and that you mean the world to me,’ and that was the very last thing she said."

Police later revealed that detectives searching inside the phone found blood smeared on the back door and discovered two kitchen knives were missing. Sagesse later said he was "murdering for self-defense" after seeing what he claimed was a suspicious-looking car. However, he failed to justify the threat that led to his actions.

Sagesse was charged with premeditated murder and attempted first-degree murder. He remains in the Broward County Jail, where he was placed after booking, and is being held without bail.
