Bystanders tried to help him before paramedics arrived, but he died at the scene.

“I’ve walked at 5 o’clock and 4:30 in the morning almost 365 days a year for the last four years,” he said. “I’ve never come across any of that. I just thought we could turn the negative into a positive by reclaiming our streets saying, ‘Let’s all walk, we’re not going to be afraid, we’re not going to be intimidated.'”

Knechtli said a post he made on social media started gaining popularity, then people started supporting the Noosa Memorial Walk event. “I think our community is great, but when something like this happens, it shakes us to the core, and for good reason,” he said. “We have to use our senses: when we walk early in the morning, take a flashlight. Police will also continue to call witnesses by spending time in Hastings Street on Sunday.

A person of interest was detained after the attack and police said the person was assisting with the investigation. No charges have been filed.
