The suspect in the fatal stabbing is expected back in a Long Beach courtroom next month.
A GoFundMe made by the family of a 20-year-old man that was recently stabbed to death in Long Beach has raised $21,302 of its $25,000 goal, as of March 20.
Adrian Hernandez was allegedly stabbed on Second Street in the early hours of March 3. The Long Beach Police Department has identified 29-year-old Brandon Nguyen of Huntington Beach as the suspect in the stabbing.
Police said officers were dispatched to the 5200 block of East Second Street in response to a report of a stabbing and responded within two minutes. Officers found Hernandez had been stabbed in the upper body and rendered emergency aid until Long Beach Fire Department (LBFD) paramedics arrived. LBFD rushed Hernandez to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
According to a report by the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner, Hernadez’s manner of death was homicide caused by a stab wound to the chest.
Nguyen was arrested by Long Beach police the following day at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and booked into the Long Beach City Jail on murder charges. According to the Los Angeles Sheriffs’ Inmate Information Center, Nguyen is currently being held without bail in the Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles.
Nguyen’s arraignment was scheduled for Wednesday morning, but was pushed back to April 10, according to City News Service.
On the GoFundMe page, Hernandez’s family described him as, “A beacon of light in our lives, he was a great young man whose warmth and compassion knew no bounds. His love for his family, especially his mother, was unwavering, bringing joy and comfort to their hearts. To his friends, he was a pillar of support and camaraderie, always there with a listening ear and a helping hand. As an amazing brother, he exemplified loyalty and devotion, enriching the lives of his siblings with his boundless love.”
