Stabbing at Los Amigos High School | |
| On October 9, 2008 at 4:33 PM the Fountain Valley Police Department responded to Los Amigos High School reference a fight that had occurred. Upon arrival we located a male juvenile who had been stabbed, kicked and beaten. He was stabbed multiple times in the upper torso. He was transported to a local hospital with serious internal injuries. Witnesses described two suspects involved in the stabbing as male, Vietnamese teenagers. The victim was a student at Los Amigos. Through a series of investigative resources we identified two male, Vietnamese juveniles as the suspects in the assault. The suspects were not students at Los Amigos High School. The Fountain Valley Police Department obtained arrest warrants for both juveniles and search warrants for their homes. Today, October 16, 2008, we served the warrants at the boy’s homes in Garden Grove. We arrested each suspect on the warrant for attempted murder. We were unable to identify any particular knife as the weapon used in the stabbing. While searching the home of one of the suspects we located 96 tablets of Ecstasy (MDMA) and packaging materials indicating the suspect was involved in the sales of narcotics as well. The participants involved in the fight have gang affiliations. The victim is recovering from his wounds and was released from the hospital yesterday. The Fountain Valley Police Department is interested in speaking to anyone who has information related to this assault. If you have information please contact Detective Kham Vang at 714 593-4489. | |
