FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) – Court documents reveal the Kroger stabbing suspect admitting to returning to the store for the sole purpose of attacking the cashier, 59-year-old Perla Nieto, according to our partners in news at 21Alive.

30-year-old Jermard Lewis was positively identified by detectives after reviewing surveillance footage from inside the store. Those matched witness descriptions and located him at his address a short time later.
