This month, a 21-year-old female employee at a Pokémon character shop inside the Sunshine City commercial complex in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district was fatally stabbed. The suspect, who is a former romantic partner, allegedly entered the store and immediately approached the register where the woman was working.
A suspect in the stabbing of a store employee in Ikebukuro was caught on security camera entering the facility 30 minutes before the incident. The footage was recorded at 12:29 PM on March 30th.

A woman who reported suffering harm held a press conference on the 30th and said, "Because so much time has passed, I believe it will be difficult to press charges..."
