SONOMA COUNTY, CA — A Petaluma woman wanted in connection with the stabbing of a 16-year-old boy Saturday in Agua Caliente has turned herself in, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. Raquel Magana, 20, is believed to have approached the boy at about 8 p.m. as he rode his bicycle on the bike path in front of Rancho Vista Mobile Home Park and asked him about his gang status, sheriff's officials said.

"When the victim denied being in a gang, Magana allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed him several times," sheriff's officials said.

The victim was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive the attack.
