Antelope Valley Man Slain in Argument
An argument at a boardinghouse in the Lake Los Angeles area of the northern Antelope Valley ended in the stabbing death of a 32-year-old male tenant early Saturday, authorities said.
The victim, whose name was withheld pending notification of relatives, was stabbed once in the upper chest about 3 a.m. at a boardinghouse in the 39000 block of 182nd Street East, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy George Ducoulombier.
Deputies on Saturday were searching for Robert Brian Blazer, 30, in connection with the killing. Authorities said Blazer, who rented a room next to the victim, stabbed him with an unknown object before fleeing.
The victim was declared dead at the scene. Ducoulombier said deputies had not yet determined a motive for the killing.
