CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / LOS ANGELES
- Share via
A 15-year-old girl died of stab wounds inflicted Wednesday by a woman in a wheelchair after the two became involved in a raucous street fight over a man, a Los Angeles Police Department officer reported.
The older woman, said to be about 30, was in police custody, but neither her identity nor potential charges were being released yet, said Officer Karen Rayner.
“It was apparently two females fighting over a guy. From the comments of callers, it sounds like it was a donnybrook -- a lot of people fighting,” Rayner said of the multiple reports phoned in to police about the incident on Buckingham Road in southwest Los Angeles about 4:30 p.m.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead, Rayner said.
