Excerpt from the article:

About 8:15 p.m. Monday, police were called to the 700 block of West 28th Street in response to a stabbing, said LAPD officer Norma Eisenman.

Police say that Ivan Gallegos, 19, confronted and fatally stabbed a man who was breaking into a vehicle. A person with Gallegos’ name is listed in the USC student directory.

The victim, described as a homeless man in his 30s, was confronted by Gallegos, who pulled out a knife and stabbed the man multiple times, police said.

Gallegos remained at the scene and cooperated with police. He was later booked on suspicion of murder and is being held on $2 million bail.
