George Sosa, a popular and well liked 16 year old student at Norwalk High School has been identified as the victim in a violent stabbing that took place last Friday at around 3:15 p.m. Los Cerritos Community News has learned. 

In custody is a former Norwalk High School student, who had been expelled during the past school year. Sosa, and his alleged killer, had been engaged in some sort of confrontation prior to the incident, Los Angeles County Sheriff Homicide Detective Eddie Hernandez told Los Cerritos Community News on Monday.

 The suspect was detained shortly after the stabbing took place last Friday afternoon and was later booked on felony murder charges, his name has not been made public to the media as of late Monday night, will be appearing in Los Padrinos Juvenile Court later this week or possibly next week, as soon as a case is prepared by members of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Witnesses to the attack told LCCN that Sosa and a friend were walking home after school on Friday when a car approached and one or more jumped out and “began stabbing.” Sosa was transported to UCI Medical Center in Orange County where he later died. LCCN has also learned that Sosas’ high school girlfriend was with him during the brutal attack and that she held on to him before help arrived. 

Authorities are still searching for the driver of that car. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of the second suspect...
