A suspect is on the loose after a man was found with fatal stab wounds outside a grocery store in Brentwood Tuesday night.
Police were called to the 11700 block of San Vicente Boulevard for a reported stabbing near the Whole Foods Market around 9 p.m.
Arriving officers found a 39-year-old man down on the ground suffering from multiple stab wounds, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to KTLA.
The victim, identified only as a veteran who was possibly homeless, was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators believe the victim was involved in a verbal altercation with the suspect, who then pulled out a knife and stabbed him several times before leaving the scene.
The unidentified suspect was said to be wearing dark-colored clothing and is also believed to be a veteran.
It was unclear what led to the altercation, but bystanders apparently witnessed the incident. Police are also searching for any possible surveillance video.
