Sheriff's Deputies quickly found and arrested a suspect in the fatal stabbing of an 11-year-old girl this morning. At 7:40 a.m., deputies were called to a home in Littlerock, an unincorporated town in Antelope Valley. Outside was a wounded 14-year-old girl who was sent to the hospital in critical condition. The 11-year-old was found dead inside. A suspect who may be related to the two girls has been arrested. A motive is still being investigated.
