A 29-year-old man suspected of a fatal stabbing during a fight at a chicken restaurant in Long Beach’s Belmont Shore neighborhood was arrested Tuesday.
Brandon Nguyen of Huntington Beach was located Monday at Los Angeles International Airport, taken to the Long Beach City Jail and booked on suspicion of murder, the Long Beach Police Department reported. Nguyen is being held without bail.
Officers were sent to the area of East Second Street and Covina Avenue at about 1:06 a.m. Sunday regarding a stabbing inside a nearby business and found a man suffering from a wound to the upper body, police said.
Long Beach Fire Department paramedics rushed the victim to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.
“The preliminary investigation indicates two groups of subjects were involved in a fight. During the fight, a male adult suspect stabbed the victim. The suspect and subjects fled the scene,” police said in a statement.
It was unclear what may have led up to the fight at Dave’s Hot Chicken at 5246 Second St.
The man’s name was being withheld by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner pending notification of relatives.
Police urged anyone with information regarding the stabbing to call them at 562-570-7244. Anonymous callers may call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or send tips to lacrimestoppers.org.
