A man stabbed his father to death in Watts on Wednesday, police said.
The incident occurred around 10:45 a.m. in the 1900 block of East 105th Street, said Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Wes Lin.
Lin said the incident may have been “a family dispute where an adult son stabbed his father†and that it’s unclear if there is a history of mental illness.
