It said the group began to go their separate ways. Parts of the report are redacted due to Marsy’s Law, which protects victims. However, it said Haligowski then began stabbing the victim, resulting in seven stab wounds. It includes a chest wound and severing an artery in the victim’s arm.

The report goes on to say the defendant [Haligowski] had the chance to remove himself from the area to de-escalate the situation when he was removed from the bar. However, instead the defendant, “attacked the victim a block away from the establishment, showing an indifference to human life.”
