- A grieving South Valley family is coping with the loss of their loved one in a senseless stabbing. Now, they're questioning whether they'll see justice -- when the suspect is a child.
17-year-old Lorenzo Sanchez was out shopping with his family on Saturday when he was approached by a group of five kids ages 11 to 15.
Investigators say an argument began, but Sanchez walked away. That's when police say a 15-year-old came up from behind and stabbed him in the back of the neck.
Lorenzo's mother, Julia, is now calling for justice. She fears her son's killer could be released when he turns 25 under Proposition 57 in California, which focuses on evidence-based rehabilitation and allows a judge to decide whether the convicted child will be tried as an adult.
