Man, 21, Fatally Stabbed at Motel
A 21-year-old man was fatally stabbed in a Palmdale motel early Sunday, authorities said.
The victim, whose name and residence were being withheld pending notification of relatives, suffered multiple stab wounds to his upper body, said Sheriff’s Deputy Carrie Stuart, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Stuart said deputies were called to the Motel 6 on West Palmdale Boulevard shortly after midnight and found the wounded victim in a motel room. He died soon after being taken to Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, she said.
Several motel guests said the victim was involved in an argument with at least one other man.
