An 18-year-old man suspected of fatally stabbing another man earlier this month was taken into custody Thursday.<\/p>\n
Landon Sandoval was identified by homicide detectives as the suspect after an extensive investigation into the murder of 22-year-old Arnoldo Andre Garcia Mendoza, according to the Long Beach Police Department. Sandoval\u2019s city of residence was not disclosed.<\/p>\n
Sandoval was located and arrested Thursday in the 1400 block of Parade Street and later booked on suspicion of murder, with bail set at $2 million, police said.<\/p>\n
A possible motive behind the fatal stabbing remains under investigation, and the case is expected to be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s Office for official filing consideration.<\/p>\n
Officers responded around 8:30 p.m. on June 1 to the 1800 block of Harbor Avenue regarding a report of a stabbing, but the suspect fled before officers arrived.<\/p>\n
According to police, the responding officers located Mendoza with a life-threatening stab wound and began rendering aid until the arrival of Long Beach Fire Department paramedics. Mendoza was then taken to a hospital, where he later died.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information regarding the investigation was urged to contact Homicide detectives Ethan Shear and Kelsey Myers at 562-570-7244.
