Killing of David Henry Breaux

David Henry Breaux (died April 27, 2023), better known as "the Compassion Guy", was an American activist^[1] and author in Davis, California. An unhoused man, Breaux had been known for his interactions with residents and passersby in Davis, where he habitually sat on a bench at the corner of Third and C streets and asked passersby to contribute to a notebook with their definition of compassion. In April 2023 he was murdered as the first victim in a series of stabbings.
