Detectives investigating homicides for the LAPD are looking for the individual who fatally stabbed George Anthony Navarro, 37, on Tuesday night at his Canoga Park apartment complex.
In the vicinity of the intersection of Vassar Avenue and Cohasset Street, George Anthony Navarro was discovered in severe condition in the courtyard of his apartment building at approximately 10:20 p.m. Navarro was declared dead at the site by LAPD despite efforts to resuscitate him.
“He didn’t deserve to die like that,” Darlene Gutierrez, Navarro’s mother stated. “He was a good man, a good father, a good son, and a good brother.”
The eldest son of Navarro was characterized by his mother as a loving family man who was constantly concerned about his loved ones. He leaves behind three brothers, two sisters, and a 13-year-old son.
The terrible incident was described by his sister Brianna, who found him after hearing a loud noise.
“He was just already on the floor, lying dead, fighting for his life. And I tried to save him, but he was just bleeding too much.”

“A brutal stabbing that cost his life. And, um, he was young. And, um, he had, he had, you know, much more to live for,” Gutierrez stated.
The suspect, according to LAPD, is a male in his 20s. It’s still unclear at this point whether the incident had anything to do with gangs. The public is asked to come forward with any information that could help solve this case as detectives look for the suspect.
It is requested that anyone with information get in touch with Crime Stoppers or the LAPD Topanga Community Police Station.
