Fatal Stabbing Outside The Bungalow in Santa Monica Under Investigation

Santa Monica police are investigating a fatal stabbing that occurred early Saturday morning outside The Bungalow at 101 Wilshire Blvd.

Officers responded to reports of a stabbing at approximately 1:50 a.m. and arrived to find two adult male victims suffering from stab wounds. Santa Monica Fire Department paramedics provided medical aid and transported both men to a nearby hospital.

One of the victims, a 31-year-old man from Anaheim, later succumbed to his injuries despite life-saving efforts. The second victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and remains under medical care.

According to detectives, the incident took place outside the hotel in the 100 block of Wilshire Boulevard. Authorities believe it was an isolated altercation rather than a random act of violence.

No arrests have been made at this time. Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage and speaking with witnesses to determine the circumstances surrounding the attack.

The Santa Monica Police Department is urging anyone with information to contact Detective Hilda Lucero at hilda.lucero@santamonica.gov, Sergeant Shaun Cooney at shaun.cooney@santamonica.gov, or the Watch Commander at 310-458-8427.
