So was this a fight amongst themselves or is there someone else that did this?

All trends point to more of this in our future.

Yessiree: “A stabbing in Arcata”
Talk about serendipity.
So that was the title of the show?
Thanks Uncle Joe for allowing all the illegals. Thanks, libs for the Mexican Stab Dancers.
Yup you are absolutely right! We need a border wall to keep those Eurekans out of Arcata!! BUILD THE WALL!!!
Moat! A moat would be cheaper.
Alright so since you only understand Plebeian vernacular, let me put it in simpler words for you to understand Magat Brain (nice choice for a name btw). If you’ve read the other articles and cross referenced you would have realized that the man who went to confront the other guy may not have stabbed him first since there is NO evidence proving so; police have no Video Footage and NO witnesses have made any statements articulating that the guy who got killed stabbed his murderer first…??What if it was the other guy who stabbed him first and he tried to defend himself and fight off two dudes.
Omg they kill him and they out so scary what happen with this security ??
Wow I impress really no words 🥺
Wow I got you is super sad unfortunately we have to be carful always don’t trust everyone ok besos❤️
You can pretty much pack a knife anywhere unlike a gun. They are totally different in that respect. No wonder so many get stabbed, but lets make more gun laws for unlawful people to break.
Also, knives are cheap and very easy to get making them a favorite for home free people.
“The Arcata Police Department identified the man fatally stabbed during an early morning fight Sunday as Eureka resident Luis Enrique Pinel Zelaya. The 29 year old was killed during an incident that began outside of the Arcata Theater Lounge when he reportedly confronted another man that he had a “beef” with and stabbed him, Arcata Police Chief Brian Ahern told the Journal.
The fight then moved over to the 600 block of 10th Street and at some point involved a third man before ending when Zelaya collapsed on G Street, Ahearn said yesterday.
Two other men, a 27 year old and a 23 year old, remain hospitalized, according to an APD news release. Their names have not been released.
“Both males are Humboldt County residents and received critical injuries during the incident,” the release states. “This is an active, on-going investigation and no additional details will be released at this time.”
If (a big if), as the comment above indicates, the deceased started the fight and the stabbing, then the killing would be self defense.
Those who start fights don’t always get to pick how they end.
so true
Justice for Luis!
Exactly
Yeesss
There is no evidence or video footage (the police have articulated that) proving that the guy who went to confront him pulled out a knife first to stab him, and no witnesses have said that in their statements either. What if he went up to him to just confront him and the guy who murdered him pulled out his knife. Everyone carries knives here so the guy who was killed may have done it out of self defense. Cross reference all forms of news media before arriving at such a one sided opinion.
Just an absolutely despicable County
Leave
Trying not to leap to conclusions is a good start to killing racism.
Justice for Luis. He was a good kid that got wrapped up in the “Humboldt county drama.” Hippie at heart and wanted good for the world. This wasn’t supposed to be his ending. He may have made a poor decision that morning but he didn’t deserve to lose his life. I hope they figure out the full story soon. RIP Louie.
Yes he was amazing thank you❤️❤️
Really this is a complot so sad who is in charging I love my police at Miami 🙏
Young people please take care your self because really today you are here and tomorrow not ok ..I just lost my nephew and and like I lost one part of my everything ok so.. peace and love 🙏
