2 people arrested after fatal stabbing Downtown, police say
Miles Carr, 26, and Carinne Kee, 37, were arrested for allegedly stabbing a man to death Tuesday, according to authorities.
Police arrested two people in connection with a stabbing Downtown that left a man dead Tuesday afternoon.
Long Beach police say Miles Carr, 26, was arguing with a man in his late 30s to early 40s in the 100 block of Linden Avenue around 12:58 p.m. Tuesday. Then, Carr and Carinne Kee, 37, got into a "physical altercation" with the man, which led to him being stabbed, according to the LBPD.
Officers at the scene gave the man medical aid until Long Beach Fire Department personnel relieved them, according to authorities. LBFD personnel took the man to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries, police said.
The victim's identity is being withheld while the Los Angeles County Department of the Medical Examiner works to identify him and notify his next of kin, according to police.
After obtaining information on the suspects, LBPD patrol officers located them about 10 minutes after first arriving at the scene in the 1500 block of Junipero Avenue, police said. Both suspects were arrested without incident, police added.
Carr and Kee were both booked for murder and their bail was set at $2 million, authorities said.
The case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration, police said.
The motive for the stabbing remains under investigation and it's not currently known if the suspects and victim knew each other, according to the LBPD.
Authorities are asking anyone with knowledge of the stabbing to contact LBPD Homicide Detectives Chasen Contreras and Jared Asato at 562-570-7244.
