Duc Vinh Dam, 32

Duc Vinh Dam, a 32-year-old Asian man, was fatally stabbed Sunday, Dec. 4, in the 400 block of Gina Drive in Carson, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

[Editor's note: An earlier version of this post, based on information from the coroner's office, listed the victim as an unidentified male.]

The victim had a confrontation with his brother-in-law and sustained more than 100 stab wounds, said Ed Winter of the coroner’s office.

Officials responded to a 911 call in the afternoon after the victim was discovered by his sister-in-law. English-speaking barriers delayed the 911 call, officials said. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:46 p.m.

Investigators have named Peter Alvarez Tapia, a 36-year-old Latino, as a suspect, said Sgt. M. Lillienfeld, but it appears that Tapia has fled to Mexico. There is no warrant yet for his arrest.

Detectives provided no additional information. Anyone with details about the stabbing is asked to contact the sheriff’s homicide bureau at (323) 890-5500. Tipsters wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.
