stabbing: July 2008 Archives

We heard this go down over the scanner Tuesday afternoon. It's an interesting story especially when paired with the tale of a homicide in Century City.

Here's some of the Rosemead tale:  

ROSEMEAD - A man was stabbed and robbed of a briefcase full of diamond engagement rings Tuesday, authorities said.

The crime was reported about 5:20 p.m. in the 3600 block of Rosemead Boulevard, Los Angles County sheriff's Lt. Mike O'Shea said.

A man was approached by three Latino men wearing bandanas over their faces and dark hooded sweat shirts, O'Shea said.

One of the suspects pulled a knife and stabbed the victim in his left arm and the robbers grabbed his briefcase, which was filled with diamond engagement rings, O'Shea said.

The victim is believed to be either a jewelry dealer or maker who stopped for dinner on his way to meet clients, he added.

Then there's this story from Century City: 

Apparently an argument led to this. Four people were injured. One seriously. Here's the story:

WEST COVINA - The DJ at a house party was arrested early Sunday after he allegedly stabbed two people and hit two others with his car, authorities said.

Luis Perez, 23, of Baldwin Park was arrested shortly after the incident and was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, West Covina police Lt. Marcos Plebani said.

The alleged attack occurred about 2 a.m. at a house in the 1600 block of West Louisa Avenue, he said.

"He slashed one person in the back yard, then stabbed another person multiple times in the front yard," Plebani said.

A 26-year-old man was hospitalized with three stab wounds to his stomach and lower chest, said West Covina Fire Department Capt. Jim Rudroff.

The injuries were initially believed to be life threatening, however the wounded man was expected to survive after undergoing surgery, police and fire officials said. Another man suffered a superficial stab wound but did not seek treatment from fire officials.
