PALMDALE – The coroner’s office has released the name of a woman stabbed to death last week in a Kohl’s parking lot in Palmdale.

She was identified as 22-year-old McKenna Evans, and no city of residence was available, according to the coroner’s office.

A man also fatally stabbed who died at the hospital was not yet officially identified by coroner’s officials.

Another man, believed to be a transient, is in custody for allegedly stabbing the two victims in the parking lot around 11:52 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, in the 39800 block of 10th Street West, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The name of the suspect was not immediately available for release.

“The suspect had asked the male adult victim for assistance regarding his vehicle, during which an argument ensued,” sheriff’s officials said in a news release. “The argument led to a physical fight and ultimately the stabbing of both victims.”

Sheriff’s officials reported that all of the parties involved were apparently living in their vehicles, but family members of the two victims later refuted those reports. The family members said the victims were father and daughter. [Read more at: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-10-30/palmdale-stabbing-husband-daughter]

    This has nothing to do with the guy she worked with.

    I am so sorry. My condolences. It’s horrible how crime and drug use are affecting us all. I realize this is likely a coincidence. But, I am concerned that we may be related since my my grandmother and her two brothers were the children of James Anthony McKenna and Hannah “Annie” Evans, the daughter of Evan Evans who died in a coal mining accident in England. There were Evans relatives in the Los Angeles area, as well. For all I know they could be my cousins. I live in Palmdale and know another McKenna cousin in the AV Valley named Robin. So heartbreaking.

      Ms. Harrington, I don’t believe you are related to my husband and daughter in any way. The name McKenna is my daughter’s 1st name, not a surname. The name Evans was in fact their surname from North Carolina.

      I am McKenna’s friend, two weeks before this happened, she complained of a roommate who was sexually harassing her. She lived in Palmdale. I told her to tell the cops on him and how she wouldn’t get kicked out. I hope this incident has nothing to do with what happened. She said they once worked with each other at the ice cream place.
