A 19-year-old man accused of killing his father this weekend on a mountain road in Mount Baldy is expected to appear in court Wednesday.
Emir Abadzic Lowe’s arraignment will take place in a West Covina courtroom. Abadzic is charged with murder for the killing of his father, prominent British photojournalist Christian Paul Lowe.
Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the incident happened around 7:15 p.m Saturday on Mount Baldy Road near Shinn Road in Stoddard Canyon.
They were called to the area after receiving reports of an assault with a deadly weapon. Officers found Lowe, 61, suffering from upper body trauma. San Bernardino Fire Department personnel responded and pronounced him dead shortly afterwards.
County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner medical records show Lowe was stabbed in the neck.
“A male adult was driven away from the scene and was subsequently involved in a solo traffic accident several miles away,” officers said in a statement. “The man has been arrested pending further investigation.”
The next day, officers identified the man as Lowe’s son.
Lowe is an award-winning photographer who documented conflicts including the siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War (1992-95). He was also visiting professor of war studies at King’s College London.
