Jose Macias, 55

Jose Macias, a 55-year-old Latino, died after he was stabbed several times Jan. 1, 2009, in the 1200 block of West 8th Street in Westlake, according to Los Angeles County coroner's officials.

Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner's office, said a neighbor heard shouting coming from an apartment and called police. When police arrived at the scene they found a suspect washing blood off of his hands, and Macias and Gregorio De La Hoz, an 81-year-old white man, stabbed in the living room.
