CHULA VISTA, California (AP) -- A fan stabbed at a concert featuring rap artist Nelly has died, while another remained hospitalized -- the second musical event where violence has erupted in recent months, police said.
Faitamai Taunuu, 30, died Saturday of multiple stab wounds he suffered in an attack during a rap concert Friday night, said Lt. Richard Coleson. Another fan, Sean Bower, 27, also was stabbed in the violence.
Police charged Hank Carl Banegas, 26, and Steven Francis Tesam, 42, with investigation of murder and attempted murder, Coleson said. An unidentified 16-year-old boy, who has been detained in a juvenile facility, was charged with conspiracy, he said.
Banegas and Tesam were being held without bail.
In August, at the "Beat Summer Jam 2002" concert in Irvine, about 15,000 people fled after a fight broke out and spilled onto the main stage. One person was hospitalized. There were no arrests.
