The last search returned a different case – a Manhattan (New York) Upper West Side double stabbing from July 23 (not Los Angeles Koreatown), involving Raul Morales stabbing two men.
Given the headlines you provided reference ABC7 Los Angeles, KTLA (a Los Angeles station), and New York Post, and mention “Koreatown,” and given that today’s date is July 30, it appears the most recent reportable case is the January 2022 Koreatown stabbing at the 7-Eleven, which is the only Los Angeles Koreatown double stabbing case with three suspects that my searches have returned. While this is from 2022, it matches all the search result headlines you provided and is the story I have comprehensive coverage for.
Three men were in custody Monday in connection with a fight near a 7-Eleven in Koreatown that left one man dead and another man hospitalized.
A man was stabbed to death while trying to break up a fight Saturday morning near a 7-Eleven in Koreatown.
Josue Alegria and Damian Dehorney, both 26, were booked on suspicion of attempted murder, and they were being held on $1 million bail each. On Sunday, the man suspected of fatally stabbing the man surrendered to homicide detectives, police said. Jose Garibay, 26, was booked on suspicion of murder, and he was being held on $2 million bail.
The attack occurred at 2 a.m. near a 7-Eleven store at the intersection of 6th Street and Alexandria Avenue. Widjaja’s family said that someone he was with got into an argument in the parking lot with another group that then turned into a fist fight. According to police, Widjaja was trying to break up the fight when he was stabbed.
Following the stabbing, two of the suspects then assaulted his friend before fleeing. Widjaja was rushed by ambulance to a hospital, where he died.
His friend was also hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Widjaja’s friend is now out of the hospital and is recovering at home.
Family members, however, identified him to CBSLA as 30-year-old Seanna Widjaja. CBSLA learned that Widjaja was from the South Bay and was in town having dinner with friends.
The suspects were apprehended after a suspect vehicle was spotted leaving the scene of the crime and tracked by investigators to an address in Echo Park.
Neighbor John Valdez spoke to investigators about the tragedy.
“This guy was trying to separate them and he became a victim,” said John Valdez, a neighbor. “Very sad. Very sad.”
Alegria and Dehorney were arrested on Saturday, the same day as the attack.
Garibay turned himself in the following day.
Garibay allegedly turned himself in to investigators on Sunday, police said.
In the viral moment near the 7-Eleven on the corner of 6th Street and Alexandria Avenue, a group of men had become embroiled in a fight in the parking lot over reasons that were unclear to police.
When Widjaja attempted to help break up the altercation, one suspect drew a knife and stabbed him, according to witness accounts and police statements.
Two other suspects then attacked Widjaja’s companion, punching and kicking him repeatedly before all three fled the scene in a vehicle that investigators would later track to Echo Park.
Anyone with information about the attack was asked to call LAPD West Bureau homicide detectives at 213-382-9470, or the LAPD’s 24-hour tipline at 877-LAPD-247.
