Man Stabbed To Death Outside Bensalem Beer Store: Police

BENSALEM, PA — A man was stabbed to death outside of a popular Bensalem beer store on Tuesday, March 29.

Dominique Isaac Harris, 30, was arraigned by District Court Judge Corryn L. Kronnagel on Thursday with one count of criminal homicide and one count of possession of an instrument of crime with intent. He was sent to Bucks County Correctional Facility, with his bail being denied.

Police arrived at the Bensalem Beer and Soda, located at 1919 Street Road, just after 8 a.m. on Wednesday after employees saw blood all over the ground, as well as a cell phone, blood-stained clothing, a Wendy’s hat, and other items.

According to police, the video surveillance footage from the store shows the victim being stabbed multiple times before being run over by the perpetrator's car.

Police also observed video footage from the nearby Wendy's where the victim was an employee. The video shows a man, later identified as Harris, approaching the victim as he took out the trash. Harris is seen chasing the victim before the stabbing took place.

Court records indict that the victim had been in an argument with Harris back in January.

Harris was later pulled over by Philadelphia police at Broad Street and Huntington Avenue, who observed blood on his vehicle's fender, as well as inside his car.

A Bensalem police officer discovered the body of the victim, Michael Pickens, 54, dumped in the area of the Cornwells Train Station Park and Ride on Thursday, March 31.

Harris is currently scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, April 12.

Bensalem Beer and Soda took to social media to tell customers that all staff were safe.

"To all that called and checked in on us, we are all ok! There was an altercation that happened overnight in our parking lot. With our cameras help I’m sure the Bensalem Police department will have no problem solving this case. We are and will be open for business as normal."
