SUMMARY: On June 8, 2021, deputies with the Victorville Police Department responded to a home in the 12300 block of Southwind Street for a reported stabbing. The reporting party told Sheriff’s Dispatch the victim had been stabbed several times and the suspect was possibly still at the location.
 
Upon arrival, deputies approached the home and saw the victim lying on the floor through a window. Deputies made entry through the window and began rendering aid to the victim until it was deemed safe for emergency medical personnel to enter the home, at which time they took over administering life-saving measures to the victim. The victim was flown to a nearby trauma center where she remains hospitalized. Two other occupants in the home at the time of the attack were not harmed.
 
The suspect was identified as 42-year old Warren Andreasen, who also lived at the home. Deputies conducted an extensive search but were unable to locate the suspect in the hours following the attack. Through continued investigation, investigators learned the suspect left Victorville and was staying at a motel in the city of San Bernardino. On June 9, 2021, Detectives and Gang Division Deputies from the Victorville Station located the suspect at the motel and took him into custody without incident.
 
Andreasen was booked at West Valley Detention Center for attempted murder. He is being held in lieu of $1,000,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in Victorville Superior Court on June 11, 2021.
