A 16-year-old male<\/a> teen<\/a> has been arrested in connection with the stabbing murder of a 17-year-old classmate with whom he was romantically involved.<\/p>\n

The body of student athlete Jeremy Sanchez was found stabbed to death in a riverbed in South El Monte, about 13 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

WFMY reports that it was the suspect who led police to the body during a search<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The teen<\/a>\u2019s father assembled a group of the boy<\/a>\u2019s close friends to search for him after he didn\u2019t show up for school on Wednesday. The suspect and another friend found Sanchez\u2019s body Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe person who killed him is the one who said, \u2018Look there he is,’\u201d sheriff\u2019s homicide Lt. John Corina said.<\/p>\n

Investigators believe the teenage<\/a> suspect, whose name hasn\u2019t been released because of his age, stabbed Sanchez multiple times and left his body in the wooded area.<\/p>\n

The L.A. Times<\/em> reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n

On Thursday, authorities arrested that 16-year-old boy<\/a> on suspicion of murder. The Sheriff\u2019s Department first identified him as Jeremy\u2019s friend but later said the two teens<\/a> were in a romantic relationship. Investigators are looking into whether that played a role in the stabbing.<\/p>\n

The teen<\/a> was booked at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall, where he is awaiting arraignment. His name was not released because he is a minor.<\/p>\n

\u2026Interviews with family and friends led investigators to believe the 16-year-old was involved in Jeremy\u2019s death. Corina would not confirm whether the young man<\/a> confessed, but said the boy<\/a> made statements that prompted investigators to obtain a search warrant for his home. There, they found \u201csubstantial\u201d evidence that led to his arrest, Corina said.<\/p>\n

CBS LA reports that the suspect had recently broken up with Sanchez and was angry that he was dating a girl<\/a>. Investigators said that the suspect called Sanchez and asked to meet him at the riverbed, where he was stabbed and left under some bushes:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Briana Amigon, a friend of Sanchez, set up a GoFundMe account for Sanchez\u2019s family<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She wrote: \u201cAs you may Know April 18th we lost a wonderful soul who was taken from us Suddenly. Jeremy Sanchez was a loving young man<\/a> who was out going and full of energy.
