Assailant wanted after stabbing teen at community carnival in Palms – NBC Los Angeles

Los Angeles police are calling on the public to identify the person responsible for the shooting of a 16-year-old during a street carnival sponsored by an LAPD cheer club in Palms on Saturday.

Fights between a group of juveniles were first reported by patrol officers in the 10600 block of Venice Boulevard.

When the group dispersed, a teenager was found with stab wounds to the stomach and later died from his injuries, according to law enforcement.

The Pacific Area Boosters Association which organized the Summer Carnival is an organization that raises funds to support LAPD programs.

The LAPD believes there are numerous witnesses to the stabbings among carnival attendees and is urging anyone with information to come forward.
