00:00A family confronted by a loved one's body under a sheet.
00:09It was emotional and chaotic.
00:11One officer pulled a taser but the group was subdued before it had to be used.
00:17A number of family and friends did converge on the crime scene.
00:20It's too early for me to say how the family got there so quickly.
00:23It was barely 8pm on Monday night when families out for dinner on Marrickville Road became
00:29witnesses to a stabbing.
00:31I know that this country is so safe and to be honest I didn't expect this kind of thing
00:36to happen in this country.
00:37We didn't see anything but we did lock ourselves inside and it just felt very frightening especially
00:42for the elderly parents.
00:44Police say it was a targeted stabbing and the victim was known to them and the attacker.
00:50It's too early to say if they had arranged it however they did meet at that intersection
00:54of Marrickville Road and Silver Street where the incident took place.
00:57It was clear that they did know each other.
01:00As the 32-year-old man lay dying on the footpath of a main road, police say CCTV captured another
01:07man running away from the scene.
01:10He's yet to be caught.
01:12Throughout today the pile of cards and flowers left at the scene has been steadily growing
01:17and the police presence in Marrickville is obvious as the investigation into this very
01:22public violent attack continues.
01:26Witnesses and those with any video from the area are being urged to come forward.
