At 8:32PM on Wednesday, August 8, 2012, deputies from Pico Rivera Sheriff’s Station responded to the 5500 block of Bridgeview Ave, Pico Rivera, regarding a call which stated a grandson had stabbed his grandmother with a knife, inside their residence.
The grandfather immediately called 9-1-1 after he walked into a front room of the residence and discovered his wife had been stabbed numerous times by their live-in 22 year-old grandson, Joseph Torres. According to the grandfather, his grandson had been standing near his grandmother with a knife in his hand when he walked into the room.
When Deputies Avila and Cardona arrived, they contacted and detained the suspect who had been on the front porch. The deputies also recovered the knife that was used in the stabbing from a basket located on the porch.
During the investigation, deputies learned that a brief argument between the grandmother and her grandson possibly led to the stabbing.
The victim was transported to a local hospital where she is listed in critical condition.
