The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) responded to a reported stabbing at the intersection of Beaver Street and Dronfield Avenue, near the westbound 210 Freeway, around 9:21 p.m. on Wednesday.
Witnesses informed police that the victim was assaulted by a man who subsequently fled the scene, according to an LAPD officer speaking with City News Service. The woman was discovered with multiple stab wounds during a welfare check and was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
