A woman was found with multiple stab wounds after San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies responded to Desert Garden Apartments in Adelanto. In a Thursday report, Victor Valley News said deputies were called at about 1 p.m. to the complex in the 11200 block of Lee Avenue, near Bellflower Street.
Deputies arrested an adult female suspect, and officials are investigating the case as attempted murder, according to the report. The suspect’s name and age had not been confirmed in the update. Investigators also had not established where the woman was stabbed, so it remains unclear whether the attack happened at the apartment complex. The victim’s condition and what led to the incident were not reported.
Earlier Adelanto cases are separate comparisons
Two reported Adelanto stabbings in 2018 offer examples of other cases, but do not establish a trend or explain this incident. In December of that year, two boys, ages 13 and 15, were accused of attacking a 26-year-old woman after an argument over property; The Sun reported that the younger boy was accused of stabbing her and the older boy of punching her. In a separate case, Victor Valley News reported that Martika Lashawn Graves was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a dispute at an apartment on Chaparral Avenue; authorities said a man was stabbed in the chest and taken to a hospital.
Victim support resources
The San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office says its victim advocates can provide crime victims and witnesses with emotional support, victims’ rights information, and referrals to resources such as shelter and victim compensation. The office lists a Victim Services Center at 15371 Civic Drive, first floor, in Victorville, and gives its number as (760) 552-6947. More information is available from the District Attorney’s Office.
