Officers were called to a home located in the 3400 block of Gay Way, located near the intersection of Jefferson Street and Indiana Avenue, around 12:20 a.m. Sunday following complaints about a house party.
Once they arrived at the scene, they were notified about two stabbings.
Officers immediately administered CPR to one victim who was later declared dead at the scene. The second stabbing victim was taken to the hospital with what officials called a non-life-threatening injury.
Authorities said a video of the deadly encounter has been circulating on social media after it was posted by party attendees. The department will not be releasing those videos since the stabbing victim was a minor.
The investigation is ongoing. Those with more information are asked to contact Riverside PD.
