Stabbing Victim clings to life

Loren Lennan

Aside from the murder of Ricky Valencia, there was a stabbing in the city on Wednesday night and a former court security guard is in critical condition at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. Reports are that between eight-thirty and nine o’clock on Wednesday night, Loren Lennan was with friends on Bocotora Street when he was ambushed. The attacker inflicted a single stab wound to Lennan’s neck.  Late this evening, News Five spoke with a witness, who wished to remain anonymous. The witness says that Lennan was in front of a game shop and had turned to urinate near the fence. That’s when his attacker, a man known to them only as “Bollo” came from behind and stabbed him.  The eyewitness further told us that Lennan ran to his friends and asked them to rush him to the hospital because he didn’t want to die. The motive for the stabbing has not yet been determined.
