He was found lying wounded on a sidewalk of Central Avenue and taken to a hospital, where he soon succumbed to his injuries, according to police and Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner officials.
Saenz died from stab wounds to his head, neck and chest, coroner’s records show.
No information regarding a suspect description or motive has been released.
But police Friday released surveillance camera images of a man they described as a person of interest in the investigation, who was seen leaving the area around the time of the killing, officials said. He was described as a Latino man with long, bushy hair, wearing a plaid shirt.
