*By Daily Press Staff*

A sophomore at Santa Monica High School was stabbed to death Saturday night at a party in Westwood, according to students who knew the girl.

West Los Angeles Police could not confirm the report by press time Sunday, but a spokesman did say officers are investigating a homicide in the area that occurred around midnight.

An argument reportedly broke out between the victim and another girl in the backyard of a house where about 15 students were partying, according to sources. One girl left the party and came back with her sister, who allegedly stabbed the victim, according to unconfirmed reports. It was a few minutes before anyone at the party realized that someone had been stabbed — until they saw blood.

Several students then drove the victim to a nearby hospital where she died, sources said.
