VENICE (FOX 11 / CNS) - Authorities on Tuesday sought public help to find three people involved in the fatal stabbing of a pregnant mother in Venice.

Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific Division went to 80 Windward Ave. at 9:30 p.m. Monday in response to a report of a fight and an assault with a deadly weapon, said LAPD Lt. John Radtke.
