Mele and his wife were eating dinner with their 5-year-old daughter Wednesday at Aloha Steakhouse in Ventura. Prosecutor Richard Simon said patrons and a restaurant employee followed Jackson out of the restaurant, even though he still had the knife. Mele's loved ones started a GoFundMe page to help raise money for a funeral and to support his wife and daughter. Police confirmed that a bystander reported a man — who turned out to be Jackson — for disruptive behavior several hours before the stabbing. According to the bystander, a man was yelling on the promenade not far from the beachside restaurant about three hours before the attack.
