POMONA – On Wednesday June 24th, Pomona officers were called upon to investigate a stabbing on the 1700 block of E. Mission Blvd that occurred at 10:29 p.m. The victim was reported to have multiple stab wounds. A few of those wounds proved to be vital, as he was pronounced dead at the scene. Nobody knew the suspect’s motives for the stabbing, but the murdered victim was not the only one that was stabbed that night. According to the report, another victim was stabbed by the same suspect two minutes prior to the murder. That victim was stabbed repeatedly in the torso, and was rushed to the hospital right after the incident. He was in critical condition.
