On Friday, August 9, the Torrance Police Department and Torrance Fire Department reported that they had responded to a stabbing in the 3300 block of Redondo Beach Blvd.
“When PD arrived on scene, they confirmed this was an attempted murder (stabbing),” the police report reads. “We heard from a reliable source [that] the son stabbed his mother and the mother is being treated by FD.”
Shortly afterwards, the police conducted a search for the male.
“A knife was found on the 5th floor of the parking structure at El Camino College,” they said. “At this point, it appears the male jumped off the 5th floor of the parking structure (suicide) and hearing that he was pronounced deceased after being treated by TFD/LACOFD for head trauma and broken bones.”
According to a report at KTLA5, “Witnesses said the woman, who was bleeding profusely on the sidewalk, was screaming for help, saying her son had stabbed her. She was rushed to the hospital by paramedics with critical injuries. Lying on the pavement outside the structure was the male suspect’s body. Witnesses said the man had reportedly stabbed his mother before running to the fifth floor of the parking structure and jumping to his death.”
Details are limited at press time.
