21-year-old Jimmy Khounchanh, an aspiring actor, died last week after being stabbed outside a movie theater in Covina, CA:
Aspiring actor fatally stabbed. According to the story, his girlfriend escaped the scene amidst a hail of bullets, avoiding injury while her car was hit by half a dozen rounds. The attack appears to have been the result of "angry looks" exchaned inside the theater. That's got to be the stupidest reason to stab someone. Ever. Police are now searching for "about 10 male Asians dressed in what was believed to be gang attire." Ironically Khounchanh's two recent roles as an actor were small parts in
Gridiron Gang and
Freedom Writers—movies with themes of overcoming gang violence.
