Stabbing in Palms NR24144kt/dm

Los Angeles: Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific Division are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects responsible for stabbing a man.

On April 23, 2024, around 4:00 p.m., patrol officers from Culver City Police Department and Los Angeles Police Department responded to the 9000 block of Venice Boulevard for reports of multiple suspects with knives attacking a lone male. When the officers arrived, they located an adult male victim with multiple stab wounds.

Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to the location and transported the victim to a local hospital in serious but stable condition.

The initial investigation revealed disturbing details about the incident. Around 3:50 p.m. that same day, the victim was surrounded by three suspects, a female (suspect one) and two White males (suspect two and suspect three). An argument escalated into violence when suspect one struck the victim with a metal rod. The situation intensified further as suspect two and suspect three joined in the assault. Ultimately, suspect one repeatedly stabbed the victim with a large cutting instrument or knife. After the brutal attack, the suspects fled the scene eastbound on Culver Boulevard towards Venice Boulevard.

Suspect one is described as a female Black, 20 to 30-years-old, with blond or orange hair, standing about 5’6” tall and weighing about 120 pounds. She wore a black jacket, blue jeans, and black tennis shoes, and was armed with a large white cutting instrument or knife.

Suspect two is described as a male White, 25 to 35-years-old, with blond hair, standing about 5’9” to 5’11” tall and weighing about 180-200 pounds. He was wearing a black leather jacket, black zipper hooded sweater, black t-shirt, blue jeans and black tennis shoes.

Suspect three is described as a male White, 25 to 35-years-old, with blond hair, standing about 5’9” to 5’11” tall and weighing about 160-180 pounds. He was wearing a gray baseball hat, gray hooded jacket, black pants and black tennis shoes.
