A man believed to be the suspect in the brazen fatal stabbing of a high school student last week was taken into custody Wednesday morning after barricading himself inside an Alhambra home, authorities said.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said units from the gang and narcotics division surrounded the home in the 2300 block of Westmont Drive around 7 a.m.LAPD Cmdr. German Hurtado said a crisis negotiator was able to persuade the man that he would be safe and to walk out of the home. He was taken into custody without incident.
The Friday afternoon killing shocked the city in its brutality, with surveillance footage showing a black-clad assailant approaching the victim around 3:55 p.m. in a parking lot on Valley Boulevard in El Sereno while brandishing a long blade. The same suspect is believed to have stabbed a 33-year-old man on the 5400 block of Valley Boulevard later that evening, police said.
“He was weird, not normal. I always tried to be kind and nice, but he never answered. He is not friendly,” said the woman, who gave only her last name, Choi.
