WATTS — Authorities today investigated the stabbing death of a 22- year-old man in an unincorporated area near Watts.

The stabbing was reported at 9:23 p.m. Wednesday on East 92nd and Bandera streets in unincorporated Firestone Park, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Responding deputies found the man suffering from stab wounds to his upper body, said Deputy Caroline Rodriguez.

The victim was riding his bike in the area when a gray SUV drove directly in front of him, blocking his path, she said. Five males exited the SUV and attacked the man, during which one of the assailants stabbed the victim with an unknown weapon, Rodriguez said.

The suspects then got back into the SUV and drove west on 92nd Street and out of view. The man was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, she said.
