Black Woman Stabbed to Death
The body of a 35-year-old black woman was found in an industrial area of south Los Angeles early today. The Southside Serial Task Force was called to the scene, but a police spokesman said it was too early to determine whether the woman will be added to the list of 17 murders the team is investigating.
The victim apparently had been stabbed to death, Los Angeles Police Department spokesman Lt. Dan Cooke said. The fully clothed body was found in the 6700 block of McKinley Avenue at 1 a.m. by a security guard making his rounds. The victim’s identity was withheld pending notification of kin.
