Good guess, but no. The two marines had just gotten back from Iraq that week, I wasn't told what day, and they didn't actually commit the murder. A civilian did it, and the two marines helped him dispose of the evidence. Not too bright, apparently.
I also heard that the men had been targetting their victim in the mall earlier that day. A number of people from my school were there to see that, but not the stabbing.
The information in the first paragraph comes from a police officer, while the second part comes from a student with good connections. I wouldn't accept the second part as being totally true, however. Just a rumor for now.
