Teenage Bicyclist Stabbed to Death
A 17-year-old Oxnard boy was fatally stabbed Monday evening as he rode his bicycle near the La Colonia neighborhood of the city, according to Oxnard police.
The teenager, whom police did not identify because of his age, apparently had a fight with with two unknown males who were driving through the neighborhood about 4:30 p.m., said Cmdr. Joe Munoz.
The youth was stabbed in the intersection of Ferrara Way and Driskill Street, and ran to a house in the 1900 block of Gaucho Way, where he became unconscious. He was taken to St. Johns Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival, police said.
Police were looking for a blue Honda Accord and an older-model, dark-colored sedan. The cars drove away from the crime scene and toward Rose Avenue, witnesses said.
Police did not know of a motive for the attack, or whether it was gang-related.
