Unidentified Woman Sought in Slaying

Los Angeles police detectives are seeking help in finding a woman who may be a suspect or a witness in the stabbing death of a 45-year-old man Nov. 10.

LAPD Det. John Villa said investigators are looking for a blond woman who was seen with Ronnie Aparicio in a convenience store security videotape shortly before he was killed. Aparicio was last seen at the 7-Eleven at Venice Boulevard and Motor Avenue at 1:10 a.m. Nov. 10, police said.

Aparicio’s 5-year-old son and his ex-wife found him more than six hours later fatally stabbed in the converted garage where he lived in the 3800 block of Vinton Avenue.

The woman, believed to be in her 20s, was described by police as fair-skinned and wearing a black leather jacket over denim bib overalls. She was seen on the videotape holding her hands up in the air and dancing in front of the counter with Aparicio. The two bought a six-pack of beer at the store and left together, police said.

Anyone with information may call police at (310) 202-4506.
