2 Assailants Sought in Fatal Stabbing
A young man was stabbed to death in an alley shortly after midnight Wednesday, authorities said.
The victim, thought to be in his early 20s, was seen fist-fighting with two men in the 44700 block of 2nd Street East moments before the stabbing, said Sgt. Brenda Cambra, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Witnesses said the man staggered out of the alley about 12:30 a.m. and told a bystander he had been stabbed. He later died at Antelope Valley Hospital.
Authorities had not confirmed the man’s identity Wednesday night.
Homicide detectives are searching for two assailants, Cambra said. The motive for the attack is not known.
The Sheriff’s Department asks anyone with information about the stabbing to call Det. Frank Gonzales at (323) 890-5500.
