He was found lying wounded on a sidewalk of Central Avenue and taken to a hospital, where he soon succumbed to his injuries, according to police and Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner officials.

Saenz died from stab wounds to his head, neck and chest, coroner’s records show.

No information regarding a suspect description or motive has been released.

But police Friday released surveillance camera images of a man they described as a person of interest in the investigation, who was seen leaving the area around the time of the killing, officials said. He was described as a Latino man with long, bushy hair, wearing a plaid shirt.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the LAPD at 877-527-3247. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
