Family Dispute Leads To Stabbing, Police Say

PLAYA DEL REY, CA — A man was allegedly stabbed to death by his son after an argument escalated into violence in Playa del Rey, according to broadcast reports.

Los Angeles Police Department officers were called at 6 p.m. Tuesday to a home in the 200 block of Redlands Street after a report that two people had been stabbed, including a 70-year-old man, said LAPD Officer Lizeth Lomeli.

CBS 2 identified the victim as the father of the suspect.

The father, who was stabbed multiple times, died at the scene, Lomeli said.

A search was initiated for the suspect and police identified a man who they say matched witnesses' description and drove away from the scene.

The suspect crashed a car onto a sidewalk at the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and Manchester Avenue in Westchester after a police pursuit and tried to run away from officers, but they found him hiding in an alley near an IHOP restaurant and arrested him.

An unidentified woman was taken to a hospital in an unknown condition with stab wounds, Lomeli said.
