A wig shop owner in downtown Los Angeles was fatally stabbed while trying to stop a robbery over the weekend, authorities said.
Tommy Lee, 56, was working at his wig shop near the intersection of Wall Street and Olympic Boulevard around 1:15 p.m. Saturday when two 17-year-olds tried to rob him, news station FOX 11 reported.
“They were looking at a wig. And then all of a sudden they made a run for it,” landlord Davina Kangavari told the news station.
Cellphone footage and surveillance captured one of the robbers looking at a blonde wig before the duo fled, prompting Lee to chase them.
