About 3:30 p.m., Kyle was inside his apartment when he got into an altercation with two other people whom he knew, said Los Angeles Police Det. Nathan Kouri.
One of the other people had a knife and stabbed Kyle, who in turn stabbed his attacker.
Kyle stumbled outside and was shot by the second person, Kouri said.
