At one point, investigators said a suspect got into a vehicle and tried to run over the two wounded men, but he instead hit two parked vehicles before fleeing the scene.

The stabbing victims were not hit by the vehicle.

A witness reported the vehicle description and license plate to police, according to Martinez.
Officers located the vehicle and identified the possible suspects, but no arrests were made as of 9 a.m., Martinez said.

The investigation by Western Division detectives was ongoing.
