One man killed, another wounded in Westlake stabbings

A 22-year-old man has died from stab wounds he suffered in a Westlake attack, Los Angeles police said Saturday. A second man injured in the assault was hospitalized in critical but stable condition.

The assault occurred about 8 p.m. Friday, police said. Officers called to the scene found one man on Coronado Terrace and the other nearby on Temple Street, they said.

Jose Villa died at a hospital. The other man was not identified.

Los Angeles Police Department Det. Gabriel Rivas said both men were gang members, although a motive for the stabbings had not been determined. He said the surviving victim told police there were two assailants, but police had little specific information about possible suspects.
