Huddleston fell behind the bar. Detectives say they don't know the motive. Huddleston "didn't even have a chance to defend himself," said Sgt. Jeff Cochran of the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau.
The suspects fled, and several bar patrons who witnessed the attack also left. Huddleston lived for a week on life support. Los Angeles County supervisors have offered a $10,000 reward for information in this case. Anyone with tips is asked to call detectives at (323) 890-5635.
