2 were hospitalized in an ambush attack by a large group of teenagers in Southern California

Two people were hospitalized after an ambush attack by a large group of teenagers in San Bernardino County.

According to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, the suspects were identified Tuesday as Kessler Pelfrey, 18, of Yucaipa and a 15-year-old male.

On May 3, two teenagers were walking past Center Park near 1st Street and Avenue B in Yucaipa when they were suddenly confronted by a group of 10 to 15 teenagers and a large fight broke out.

The two victims were attacked by the group and stabbed multiple times before falling to the ground, authorities said.

While she was lying on the ground, an unknown young girl stomped on the head of one of the victims.

When the victims got up again, they fled the park, but the large group of young people continued to pursue them.

At approximately 10:30 p.m., officers went to a gas station where a victim was found with multiple cuts and a stab wound.

As paramedics transported the victim to the hospital, authorities learned that a second juvenile victim had also been transported to a nearby hospital with multiple stab wounds.

Investigators discovered several video recordings of the attack and were able to identify two main suspects in the ambush.

On May 9, investigators executed a search warrant at the 15-year-old male suspect’s home in Beaumont.

Two additional search warrants were served at two homes owned by 18-year-old suspect Pelfrey.

The 15-year-old was arrested and booked into the San Bernardino Juvenile Hall. Pelfrey was arrested and booked into the Central Detention Center in San Bernardino.

The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective E. Perez at 909-918-2305.
