On August 2, 2007 at approximately 1:30
a.m., Officers from the Santa Monica Police
Department responded to the 1500 block of
the Santa Monica Beach regarding a possible
stabbing victim at that location.
Upon arrival, officers discovered three
stabbing victims. All victims were
transported to a local hospital for
evaluation and treatment. Two of the
victims were released a short time later
while the third underwent surgery for a stab
wound to the chest. At this time, this
victim is in serious condition and expected
to fully recover from her injuries.
A preliminary investigation revealed that

Angeles) sustained stab wounds to their
