A man was stabbed to death and a woman was injured during a robbery early Tuesday in Lakewood, authorities said.

The crime occurred at 1:18 a.m. at the intersection of Del Amo Boulevard and Violeta Avenue on the Lakewood-Cerritos border, said Deputy Wally Bracks of the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

The man, identified as Jesus Nunez, 38, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Bracks said.

The woman was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

“The victims were walking eastbound on Del Amo Boulevard, on the south sidewalk, when a vehicle drove up to them,” a sheriff’s statement said.

“Three suspects exited the vehicle and assaulted the two victims,” the statement said. “During the robbery, personal items were stolen from the victims. After the robbery the three suspects entered the dark-colored sedan

and drove southbound on Violeta Avenue and out of view.”

No descriptions were released of the suspects — two men and a woman — or their vehicle. Anyone with information on the case was urged to call homicide detectives at (323) 890-5500.

More to come.
