PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Family of the man who died in the Macy's stabbing in Philadelphia identified him as 27-year-old Eric Harrison. They said he was working two jobs, including one at the department store, to save up for a house.

"I feel like I'm in a dream," Tyree Harrison-Harvey said. "I'm waiting for somebody to just tap me and say, 'OK, it's over. It was a joke.'"

Harrison-Harvey said it's a nightmare she wouldn't wish on anyone's family. Her nephew, Harrison, was stabbed to death while simply doing his job.
