Bellflower, CA – A man was stabbed Sunday night outside Tacos Raul in the 16800 block of Lakewood Boulevard, prompting a swift response from law enforcement.
The victim was found near his white truck, though it remains unclear whether the attack stemmed from a robbery or an argument. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment.
Shortly after the incident, the victim’s son, who lives nearby, arrived at the scene in a white Mitsubishi, armed with a rifle-style gun. However, the suspect had already fled before both the son and deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) arrived.
LASD detained the son and secured the firearm from his vehicle. Both the son and the weapon were captured on surveillance footage.
The LASD continues to investigate the circumstances surrounding the stabbing and the son’s actions following the attack.
