VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — A Victorville mother is asking for the community’s help with laying her 21-year-old son to rest after he was stabbed to death by his own brother.
On June 30, 2022, at about 5:51 am, deputies from the Victorville Police Department responded to a stabbing inside the Riverton Apartments located in the 14300 block of Borego Road.
When deputies arrived, they found the victim, identified as Davonte Sharpe, with stab wounds. As deputies provided medical aid, Davonte became unresponsive, and CPR was administered. Davonte was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased a short time later.
