Prosecutors decline to charge Pomona boy in brother's slaying
POMONA -- The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office has declined to file criminal charges against a 17-year-old boy who killed his brother last week in a knife fight, authorities said today.
The boy fatally stabbed 24-year-old Victor Aguero at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday outside their family's home in the 200 block of Whitney Avenue in Pomona, police said.
The boy was arrested following the stabbing, but after a review of the case Monday prosecutors declined to charge him with a crime, according to a staff member in the Pomona juvenile department of the District Attorney's Office.
The brothers got into a fight for unknown reasons while their parents were not home, and Aguero chased his younger brother out of their apartment, a neighbor said.
Both men were armed with knives, and the 17-year-old stabbed his brother during a struggle, according to police and neighbors.
Jerry Martinez, who lives next door to the brothers' apartment, said such violence is unusual on Whitney Avenue, a north Pomona street lined with apartment buildings.
"It's a quiet area here," said Martinez, 25.
A relative of the brothers who opened the door at their home declined to comment.
