A 21-year-old man named Jackson Julian Sagesse has gotten caught up in some serious trouble. He was arrested for fatally stabbing this Florida super stylish and glamorous hairstylist named Hailey Hosford in the parking garage of her fancy apartment.
Like, what the heck was he thinking? It’s just unbelievable that something like this could happen.
Hailey Hosford, 27, had just stepped out of a rental car at the Retreat at Sawgrass Village in Sunrise on Wednesday when a man reportedly charged the vehicle, ripped open the door, and fatally stabbed her – also injuring her male friend in the process, as reported by The New York Post.
The suspect, 21-year-old Jackson Julian Sagesse, was subsequently arrested and booked into Broward County Jail on charges of murder and attempted murder.
‘I just killed someone and walked away,’ he bragged to cops after his Miranda rights were read, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by The Post.
Just after 1.30am on Wednesday, Hosford and an unidentified male friend arrived at the parking garage at 3000 Northwest 130th avenue in a rented black Mercedes, WPLG News reported.
The 27-year-old Ford Lauderdale-based hairstylist remained in the car for a few minutes while her friend briefly went inside, planning to continue their drive shortly after.
‘He was going in there to grab some stuff, and then he was gonna take her home,’ Aubrey Rosebrock, Hosford’s friend, told WSVN News.
As she waited for her friend’s return, surveillance footage from inside the garage allegedly captured Sagesse approaching the vehicle, holding a metal object that was ‘reflecting light’ in his hand.
Unaware of the danger, Hosford began to step out of the car – only to suddenly realize that Sagesse was approaching the driver’s side.
In a panic, she allegedly tried to climb back into the car to shield herself from what is being described as a random attack, according to an arrest report obtained by WSVN.
‘She noticed he was charging her, and he forced himself into the car before she had time to shut the door,’ Rosebrock told the outlet.
Within seconds, a violent struggle erupted between the two, and police said security footage captured the suspect making repeated stabbing motions into the vehicle, The Post reported.
Hosford’s friend returned from the apartment just moments later and confronted Sagesse, who then got out of the car.
The two men quickly became entangled in a violent confrontation, resulting in the 21-year-old suspect reportedly stabbing the man in his throat.
Miraculously, the wounded friend survived the unprovoked attack and managed to escape, quickly calling police for help as soon as he was able.
Sagesse then allegedly returned to the vehicle and tried to flee the scene in the rental car, but was unable to get it moving, according to The Post.
When officers arrived shortly afterward, they found Hosford unresponsive inside the car, suffering from multiple stab wounds to her neck and throat, according to The Post.
Tragically, she was pronounced dead at 2.01am. Her friend was taken to the hospital for treatment.
‘I know she was a fighter – I believe she fought, and I believe she was scared,’ Rosebrock told WSVN.
‘She was a force to be reckoned with, she really was,’ he added.
Employees of the apartment building identified Sagesse from the security footage and provided police with the unit number of the home he shared with his mother at the complex, as reported by The Post.
When authorities arrived at his home, Sagesse was found still wearing the same clothes seen in the security footage.
Inside the home, detectives found smeared blood on the back door and discovered that two kitchen knives – matching the description of the murder weapon – were missing.
He was arrested by police and, as his Miranda rights were read, allegedly boasted about ‘just walking away’ after killing someone.
I mean, what was going through this guy’s head? It’s tragic and scary to think about. It’s a reminder that we all need to be careful out there and look out for each other. RIP to Hailey and sending thoughts and prayers to her friends and family during this difficult time.
