By Gabrielle Dunn, Globe Correspondent
Police today identified the victim of a fatal stabbing Saturday in East Boston as 19-year-old Rafael Sandoval.
The Chelsea resident was stabbed at about 11:50 p.m. in a shopping plaza, in front of a Shaw’s Supermarket, at 220 Border Street in East Boston.
On arrival, officers located the Hispanic teen suffering from an apparent stab wound, police said.
Sandoval was immediately transported to the Massachusetts General Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The incident remains under investigation and police are looking for a suspect.
They are especially interested in information about a dark four-door Honda or Toyota that was seen leaving the scene. The homicide was the 48th of the year in Boston, compared to 54 at that same time last year, said police spokesman James Kenneally.
