2 Assailants Sought in Teen’s Stabbing
In what Oxnard police suspect is a gang-related crime, two young Latino males stabbed a 15-year-old male Wednesday afternoon.
Officers say the victim was walking along a street in the Pleasant Valley area near Squires Drive with a friend when a large dark-colored Buick or Oldsmobile sedan pulled up alongside the pair. The car’s two occupants exchanged insults with the pedestrians. Police say one suspect drew a knife, and stabbed the victim repeatedly. They then sped away in the vehicle.
Oxnard police say the suspects are between the ages of 18 and 23.
