LOS ANGELES, CA – A fatal incident unfolded late Tuesday night outside a Canoga Park apartment complex. A man was stabbed to death in the neck. Officers responded to a distress call at 7523 Vassar Avenue around 11:20 p.m. They found the victim in the courtyard with a severe neck wound.
Despite swift responses from emergency personnel, the victim, a man in his 30s, could not be saved and was declared dead at the scene. LAPD has yet to officially release his identity, but his mother, in a heart-wrenching interview with local reporters, identified him only as George. She disclosed that he was the father of a young boy, expressing profound grief and confusion over the circumstances leading to her son’s untimely death.
Authorities are actively searching for the assailant, described as a Hispanic man in his 20s, who remains at large. The motive for the stabbing is still under investigation, and officials have not confirmed whether it was gang-related.
The community has been urged to come forward with any information as police work diligently to resolve the case. A GoFundMe page has been established in order to support George’s family with funeral expenses.
This incident adds to a troubling uptick in violence in the area, leaving residents and local authorities deeply concerned about safety. The LAPD is calling for anyone with information to contact their local station as they attempt to bring closure to this devastating event.
