LOS ANGELES—The parents of a man stabbed to death in 2021 by a homeless man in Beverly Grove sued the city and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on Feb. 24, alleging the city and the department were already aware of a growing homeless problem in the area and downplayed the concerns of multiple neighbors who called 911 to report the disturbing behavior of the victim’s killer.
Gabriel Donnay, 31, was stabbed to death about 4:35 p.m. in the back yard of his home in the 6600 block of Maryland Drive on March 29. The coroner’s office identified the suspect as Enoch Conners, 33, and reported that he himself was pronounced dead of a self-inflicted knife wound to the neck in the 5500 block of West Fifth Street, about a block from the crime scene.
