A man has died from stab wounds in an apparent attack in Norwalk on Tuesday morning.

Members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives responded to the intersection of Studebaker Road and Farina Street to investigate the circumstances surrounding the stabbing death of an adult male.

The victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

 The name of the victim has now been released to the community and to members of the media as of Wednesday afternoon.

Hews Media Group-Community Newspaper interviewed three residents who live on Studebaker Road right near the scene of the fatal stabbing late Tuesday afternoon as investigators were combing the area inch by inch for clues.

“This part of Studebaker Road has become a busy area for drug dealing and gang activity,” said a 19 year old female resident who did not want to be identified. “But for this person to get killed while obviously on his bike is just plain violence at its worst,” she said.
