Francisco said detectives could not release any information regarding a possible motive for the stabbing, or whether or not there was more than one person involved, because they did not want to jeopardize the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time we don\u2019t know the relationship between the victim and the suspect,\u201d Francisco said. \u201cThe investigators are still interviewing people and we can\u2019t release a whole lot of the information because of investigative reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around 11:14 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17<\/a>, Victor Miguel Enriquez<\/strong> was found on the ground with multiple stab wounds to the torso in the parking lot of the Sonoma Apartment Homes in the 38500 Block of 11th Street East, officials said.<\/p>\n

Enriquez, 26, was pronounced dead at the scene around 11:31 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Coroner\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just can\u2019t believe people would take my son like that, just brutally kill him like he was a piece of meat!\u201d said Enriquez\u2019 mother, Michelle Thomas.<\/p>\n

Thomas said her son had been living with her in Bakersfield, but had recently moved back to Palmdale.<\/p>\n

\u201cI begged him not to come back here, and he came anyway because he wanted to be with his kids,\u201d Thomas said through tears. \u201cHe came back to death!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sylvia Enriquez said she was still in shock over her little brother\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a loving and caring person; he loved his kids first and foremost\u2026\u201d Enriquez said. \u201cMy brother did not deserve to be killed, he was murdered. I want everybody to know that he was a very kind and gentle person, despite what everyone may think of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enriquez leaves behind three children \u2013 an 8-year-old, a 5-year-old and a 7-month-old \u2013 family members said.<\/p>\n

Updated 10\/24\/12<\/span>: Alfred Crowder has been charged with murder in connection with the stabbing death of Victor Enriquez, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Crowder appeared in court Tuesday, but did not enter a plea. His arraignment was postponed until Nov. 6, and he was ordered back to custody on $1 million bail.<\/strong>
