On Tuesday November 29th, an eighty-nine-year-old grandmother was stabbed and killed in her home in South Los Angeles. After authorities were called, she was taken to a local hospital where she died soon after. Her grandson, aged forty-two, is said to be a suspect. After the murder, he blockaded himself in a nearby home near Manual Arts Senior High School. The grandson lived with his mother and grandmother and is said to have a history of drug problems. His sister, A.R., thinks he may have been hallucinating. He apparently picked up a broom and stabbed her in the chest and then told his mother that he had been shot in the head. By 6 PM that day, the grandson had been apprehended and taken into custody.
