On October 23, a man covered with blood walking down the streets of Huntington Beach was charged with fatally stabbing a 51 year old man by the name of Fredrick Sledge. An off duty officer had spotted Rito Samuel Tejeda, 22, in bloody clothing near Knoxville Avenue and Delaware Street suspecting he had committed some sort of crime related to murder. After he reported the suspicion to the Huntington Police Department, detectives later discovered Sledge's dead body in his apartment and accused Tejeda of the murder. He was accused of repeatedly stabbing the man and then casually leaving after the incident as he was found by the police later on. He was charged with one felony count of murder with a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a deadly weapon. Tejeda faces a maximum 26 years to life in state prison and is being held on $1 million bail. The hearing is scheduled to be on Nov. 22 in Westminster’s West Justice Center.

These type of news are important to know about because we must be aware of the potential danger that can be around us at all times. For the police to perform their job correctly and imprison convicts such as Tejeda prevents fewer criminals to walk the streets among others and cause harm to any being.
