Sheriff’s homicide investigators are seeking her ex-boyfriend to determine if he was involved.
A 16-year-old girl was found stabbed to death in her Pico Rivera home Friday morning, and authorities believe her ex-boyfriend may be a suspect.
The department says the ex-boyfriend is being sought based on the victim’s statements to her mother prior to her collapse.
“Detectives learned that the victim’s mother was suddenly (awakened) by her daughter’s screams that she had been stabbed as she staggered into her bedroom and collapsed”, Deputy Guillermina Saldana said.
Pico Rivera, population about 63,000, is southeast of Los Angeles.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were sent shortly after 3 a.m.to the 9800 block of Shade Lane for report of a deadly stabbing incident. She had been downstairs when a suspect entered the home through the back door.
Authorities said they were investigating whether the attacker made a forced entry or was allowed inside. The teen and her boyfriend had ended their one-year relationship two weeks ago.
