I think it is taking it all a bit too literally to say that it is specifically about that incident. It's about murder in general and about how as Will Sheff said "I remember my co-workers looking at him and looking at him for the evil on his face. You wanted to see the evil, but it wasn't there."
It obviously wasn't about any particular murder, just about those murders that seem completely senseless but are performed by seemingly normal people.
I've only just learnt about this band and this song is a particular favourite of mine. I wanted to play it on my radio show but there has been a serial killer on the loose and I don't think I could get away with playing it so soon after they caught the supposed perputrator. This is a similar situation really and the weirdest thing is that it's happened in my town (Ipswich in England) where that sort of thing isn't heard of. It's been weird.
