19-Year-Old James Hamilton,
The victim was stabbed by 19-year-old James Hamilton, who was identified by detectives as the attacker, according to the police.
Detectives found Hamilton at his Huntington Beach home on Thursday and arrested him.
Assault with a deadly weapon is suspected in Hamilton’s incarceration at the Orange County Jail.
Chief Cameron Knauerhaze, the deputy, called it a “very brutal attack” rather than just a skirmish. In spite of the fact that the business and the witnesses involved were unwilling to cooperate, I am proud of our detectives for putting this case together.

After his death, Howard claimed he had no knowledge of Gonzales’ shooting, but family members said they overheard him claiming that Williams had done it.
On the day of the pool hall shooting, Williams was interviewed as a witness and claimed to have met Howard and offered him $1,500 for “legal trouble.”
