BREAKING NEWS: Parolee sought in stabbing at Wilmington truck business

Just talked to LAPD Harbor division Detective Alonzo Canada. Investigators are looking for this guy, James Laudermill, who police say stabbed the owner of a trucking business in Wilmington last night.

Two trucking businesses share the property in the 800 block of Henry Ford Avenue. Laudermill, 49, works as a driver for the other one.

Canada told me that Laudermill was allowed into Mejia's business about 11 p.m. Monday because he wanted to get some food in the kitchen.

Then, without warning, he walked up behind Mejia and stabbed him in the back. They fought and he stabbed him again, Canada said.

Laudermill took off in a green 1994 Freightliner big rig with the California license plate number, 9B96467.

Mejia is in the hospital and expected to recover.

According to a police statement, Laudermill is a "parolee with an extensive, violent arrest history." He is considered armed and dangerous.

Laudermill is black, 6 feet 1 inches tall, about 230 pounds. He has an address in South Los Angeles.

Anyone with information should call Canada at 310-522-2031. After hours calls can go to 1-877-LAPD-24-7.
