Late Night Brawl: Fatal Stabbing At Busy OC Restaurant

crime_tape_hawaiian_gardens.jpg Described by witnesses as "an all-out brawl," a fight at an Orange County restaurant ended with a 20-year-old man being stabbed to death, another man stabbed and in critical condition and third man severely beaten, according to ABC Local. The melee reportedly began when friends of the victim "began spitting at two women standing in line."

The incident occurred just after 2:00 a.m. at Albatros Mexican Restaurant in Lake Forest. It was the first homicide in two years in the area, according to sheriff's deputies. No suspect information was immediately available, however, "There's approximately 18 to 20 witnesses - a very popular restaurant at that time. So each of the witnesses have to be interviewed individually," said Jim Amormino with the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

    Once again the crappy media makes assumptions based off of people who
    "think" they know what happened.  They did not come and just spit at
    women.  That is just damned ridiculous. Elvis was a well mannered
    charming young man.  I am sure there is more to the story and regardless of what the people who were with Elvis did it in no way justifies an unarmed man being murdered in a parking lot.

    Good grief.
    I used to live in El Toro (I refuse to call it "Lake Forest").....
    That's sad news to hear, indeed.
