A California man accused of murdering a man last week was released in the second half of 2024 for his mental health, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office.
Jordan Murray, 25, was charged with murder in a stabbing of a 40-year-old man in the Fair Oaks area on May 18, the sheriff's office said.
Murray allegedly committed two violent robberies in May 2024 and June 2024, sending him to jail, but was released in November 2024 after the court granted him a "mental health transfer."
"Murray committed this completely preventable murder just six months after being imprisoned," the sheriff's office said.

The sheriff's office said deputies had attacked on Fair Oaks Boulevard around 8 p.m. Sunday, where the victim found the victim on the ground in the parking lot with multiple stab wounds. He tried life-saving measures, but he died at the scene.
Homicide detectives and crime scene investigators began collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses and learned that Murray and others were involved in a physical dispute involving the victims earlier that day.
The victim walked away, breaking the fight at the time, but then met Murray and another fight.
Police said Murray allegedly pulled a knife out of his pocket and began to wave it at the victim, slashing him at least once, causing a "fatal wound."
