September 18, 2007 | 11:43 am

Lesette Guereca, a 9-year-old Latina girl, was stabbed in the 10424 block of Lowemont St. in Bellflower at 7:47 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10 at a family gathering, said Sheriff's Deputy Oscar Butao. She died at 8:55 p.m.

Lesette was visiting relatives with her family. Also at the gathering was a 23-year-old mentally disturbed cousin, Efrain Martinez. Martinez became combative and stabbed the girl in the front yard. Martinez's father wrestled him to the ground, and police came and arrested him. The girl was taken to a local hospital, where she died. Martinez is being held on murder charges in the Lakewood jail. His bail is set at $1 million.
