Investigators discovered that Torres and Herelle had an ugly argument a day before after which the 28-year-old MMA fighter waited outside her home that she shared with her parents.
He waited for Torres to come back from her job at the bar and his intentions were to exact his revenge as he had a weapon on him.
Herelle reportedly stabbed the young woman 17 times after which he shoved her lifeless body in the trunk of his car and drove to his apartment in Bellevue.
