Lompoc Police in Manhunt for Suspect in Fatal Stabbing
A Lompoc woman was found stabbed to death Saturday and police were searching for the victim’s boyfriend as a suspect in the slaying.
At around 6:20 a.m. Saturday, police received a call to check on the welfare of a woman at a residence in the 1000 block of North Sixth Street, the department said in a news release. Officers arrived to find the woman dead with multiple stab wounds.
