Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor COVINA - Police arrested a second man involved in a robbery that left the victim with multiple stab wounds Tuesday. Christian David Camacho, a 23-year-old Covina man, was arrested outside his home without incident just before 5 a.m. January 22. He was booked on suspicion of robbery and attempted murder, according to the Covina Police Department. Investigators said Camacho stabbed the victim who also possibly suffered a collapsed lung. He is expected to survive his wounds. Camacho had injuries consistent with the crime, Covina Police said. 21-year-old Jacob Cannon, also a Covina man, was arrested after he falsified a report of being attacked in Azusa -- mere minutes after officers responded to a call of a stabbing victim outside In N Out, 1310 N. Grand Ave., January 21 around 11:50 p.m. Camacho and Cannon exited their compact car and attempted to rob their victim as he rode a bicycle. Cannon somehow received a stab wound during the crime, Covina Police said. “The victim smashed the rear window of the vehicle as both suspects fled in it with the victim’s hat” Covina Police said, adding that “officers noticed Cannon’s vehicle’s rear window was smashed out and matched the suspect vehicle description from the robbery on Grand Ave. Cannon was determined to be one of the suspect’s in the initial robbery and was wounded during crime.”
Cannon was also booked on suspicion of robbery and attempted murder. A search warrant was served at Camacho’s home. Evidence in the stabbing was discovered, Covina Police said. Camacho and Cannon are being held in lieu of $2 million in the Covina Police jail ahead of a scheduled appearance in West Covina Superior Court January 24.

The crash occurred around 1:45 p.m. outside Covina High School at West Puente Street and South Hollenbeck Avenue January 22. A driver in a Hyundai westbound on Puente reportedly ran a red light and crashed into a southbound Nissan, according to Officer Manuel Esquivel of the Covina Police Department. The Nissan overturned. Some witnesses and passersby assisted the older driver out of the overturned vehicle. The driver was hospitalized for complaints of back pain and stomach pain, Esquivel said. The injured driver was transported at 2:06 p.m., according to Franklin Lopez of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The driver accused of running the red light remained on scene and cooperated with investigators. He was issued a citation on scene, Esquivel said.  Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor COVINA - A man accused of stabbing his robbery victim multiple times was jailed after being found with a torso wound he accidentally gave himself, police said. 21-year-old suspect Jacob Alan Cannon of Covina was found at a residence in the 400 block of East Alisal Way minutes after the victim was found. Police responded after he called and lied about being attacked in Azusa, according to Sgt. Rodriguez of the Covina Police Department. The attempted robbery occurred around 11:50 p.m. January 21 in the southbound lanes of Grand Avenue near the In N Out driveway, Rodriguez. Police determined that Cannon’s story made no sense after and he and his victim were admitted to the same hospital. They determined Cannon was the suspect in the stabbing near In N Out, 1371 Grand Ave. The victim fought against the suspect who likely accidentally stabbed himself during the robbery.
Cannon was able to get away with nothing more than a hat, Rodriguez said. The victim received multiple stab wounds and possibly a collapsed lung, but will survive his wounds, Rodriguez told SGV CityWatch. Cannon faces robbery and assault with a deadly weapon charges, Rodriguez said.
