Concepcion Estrella Perez, 42, and Lisa Marie Herrera, 38, a Santa Ana couple (Perez is a man although his name is feminine) were arrested by the SAPD as suspects in the beating and stabbing of a gas station customer, according to the O.C. Register.

The couple were booked on suspicion of attempted murder as well as multiple outstanding theft warrants, according to the SAPD.

The SAPD is still looking for a third suspect involved in the attack on a 53-year-old man, who was hospitalized in serious condition with stab wounds to his upper torso but is expected to survive his injuries.

The fracas went down on Monday night at a Chevron gas station located at 1104 S. Bristol St., when the victim and the suspects got into an argument that started in the gas station’s store and then developed into a physical brawl in which the victim was stabbed.

The police are not yet clear on what started the conflict. However they believe that Perez may have felt that the victim in some way disrespected him.

Perez and Herrera tried to get away after the stabbing but were caught by the SAPD a short time later.

Perez is suspected of stabbing the victim. He was found with a bloody knife and a rag that he used to try to clean the knife. He was identified by a witness.

The remaining at large suspect is a Latino man who stands about 5-feet-8 to 5-feet-10 and weighs from 140 to 160 pounds with a thin build and short black hair. He was wearing a white, long-sleeve shirt, blue jeans and black dress shoes at the time of the attack. His description probably applies to several thousand men in Santa Ana…

  1. This is a tale of a young man’s quest for revenge on a father who abandoned him at three years of age and whose only contribution to his entire life was naming him Lisa. commonly a feminine name, which results in the young man suffering from ridicule and harassment by everyone he meets in his travels. Because of this, Lisa grows up tough, mean and smartens up very quickly, though he frequently relocates due to the shame his name gives him. Angered by the embarrassment and abuse that he endures in his life, he swears that he will find and kill his father for giving him “that awful name”.

    Sue later locates his father at a Chevron station in Santa Ana , CA, during the middle of a summer season, and confronts him by saying, “My name is Lisa! How do you do? Now you’re gonna die!” This results in a vicious brawl that spills outdoors into a muddy street. After the two have beaten each other almost senseless, Lisa’s father admits that he is the “heartless hound” that named him Lisa and explains that the name was given as an act of love. Because Lisa’s father knew that he would not be there for his son, he gave him the name, believing (correctly) that the ensuing ridicule would force him to “get tough or die.” Learning this, LIsa makes peace with his father and they reconcile. With his lesson learned, Lisa promises to name his son “Bill or George, anything but Lisa.”
