Race Uyeki, 18

Race Uyeki, an 18-year-old Latino, was stabbed to death Sunday, Dec. 12, in the 21400 block of Halldale Road in Harbor Gateway, according to Los Angeles County coroner's records.

Officers responded to a call at about 5:55 a.m. that a person had been stabbed, according to an LAPD news release. When police arrived, they found Uyeki lying on the ground unresponsive. He had stab wounds to the upper torso, police said.

Paramedics were called, and Uyeki was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Authorities said they had not made an arrest in connection with the case, and a motive for the killing remains unknown.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Harbor-area Officers Fernando Rivas or Eddie Yoon at (310) 726-7882. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.

[Editor's note: Uyeki's death was not included in the original list provided by the coroner Monday. His death was included in the Homicide Report after the Los Angeles Times learned of his killing in a press release.]
