Co-worker Charged in Stabbing Death of North Hollywood Man

LOS ANGELES, CA -- A man accused in the stabbing death of a co-worker at the Wilshire Country Club was charged Tuesday with murder.

Erick Hernandez, 29, of Los Angeles, is accused of stabbing Emmanuel Bravo about 8:45 p.m. Thursday at the country club in the 300 block of North Rossmore Avenue. The 28-year-old North Hollywood man died at a hospital.

Hernandez, 29, of Los Angeles was arrested Friday morning and booked on suspicion of murder. He pleaded not guilty this afternoon to the murder charge and a knife-use allegation.

The men, who both worked in the restaurant, got into a dispute and Hernandez stabbed the victim with a kitchen knife, Los Angeles police alleged.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Sergio C. Tapia II ordered Hernandez to remain jailed on $2 million bail.

Hernandez is due back in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom on Nov. 9, when a date is scheduled to be set for a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to require him to stand trial.
