Ratchanok Seesura, a 28-year-old Asian woman, was stabbed to death in a domestic dispute at 10429 La Reina Avenue in Downey at about 3:25 a.m. Monday, Feb. 25. According to authorities, officers from the Downey Police Department responded to a radio call of domestic violence at the address. Upon arrival, officers discovered Seesura inside her bedroom, bleeding from multiple stab wounds. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene at about 3:45 a.m. Her 3-year-old child, who walked out of the apartment, was later found inside a neighbors apartment home, police said.

As police investigated the incident, the California Highway Patrol responded to a radio call of an accident at the Rose Hill exit off the 605 Freeway. Among the involved drivers was Kris Young Lee, 35, who lived at the same address. Police claimed that Lee confessed to a CHP officer of murdering his wife with a kitchen knife during an argument. He was hospitalized at County-USC hospital and was later arrested on suspicion of murder.
