SAN FRANCISCO - A Cambodian refugee featured in a recent documentary on Asian immigrants was arrested on suspicion of stabbing a 19-year-old Pacifica man in a dispute over a parking space.
The victim, Boris Albinder, died Saturday morning of stab wounds suffered during a brawl just after midnight near a club in the city's Richmond District, according to police.
Albinder's friend tried to reserve an empty parking space for him in front of the club when a van pulled up and tried to take the spot, police said.
Albinder, the son of Russian immigrants, was stabbed while trying to help his friend fend off as many as five men who attacked him, investigators said. He died later that morning at San Francisco General Hospital.
Police arrested Pounloeu Chea, 25, of San Francisco early Saturday and booked him on one count of murder and five counts of assault, police said.
Chea, whose family fled the Khmer Rouge in the 1980s, was featured three years ago in a 20-minute documentary film, "Who I Became," about the life of Asian immigrants in the Tenderloin section of the city.
The film portrayed Chea's struggles to escape the street after his mother and father returned to Cambodia.

God damn! These stupid kids just don't know how to walk away from trouble! Too much ego and too much emotion and the two are deadly combination!
