Joel Fraticelli, 27
Joel Fraticelli, a 27-year-old white man, was fatally stabbed Wednesday, April 22, in the 1700 block of North Cherokee Avenue in Hollywood, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.
About 8:30 a.m., police responded to a parking lot and found Fraticelli, who had been stabbed after a dispute.
Police said that Fraticelli was standing next to a vehicle when he was stabbed. Fraticelli was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:46 a.m., said Ed Winter, assistant chief of investigations for the coroner’s office.
The attacker was believed to have fled in Fraticelli’s truck, a dark brown 2005 Ford F-150 with North Carolina license plates.
Police later found that the assailant abandoned the truck a few blocks away. On April 23, the FBI Fugitive Task Force arrested Raymond Earl Jackson, a 29-year-old black man, on suspicion of murder. Jackson was charged with one count of murder on Monday, according to the district attorney's office.
