A teen was stabbed to dying Saturday evening throughout a struggle at a carnival sponsored by a booster membership for the Los Angeles Police Division.
The LAPD Pacific Space Boosters and Palms Weekend Pageant had organized the carnival, which supplied rides and video games on Venice Boulevard between Overland and Motor avenues by way of the weekend.
At 10:25 p.m. Saturday, LAPD officers responded to a stabbing on the intersection of Venice Boulevard and Keystone Avenue, mentioned Officer Charles Miller, an LAPD spokesman.
The sufferer, a 16-year-old boy, died on the scene.
Police consider {that a} struggle — probably motivated by gang rivalries — broke out on the carnival earlier than an assailant between the ages of 15 and 20 stabbed the boy a number of occasions, Miller mentioned.
The attacker, who fled on foot, had not been apprehended as of Sunday morning, Miller mentioned.
