SAN DIEGO — A man was killed inside his apartment on the 600 block of 14th Street in East Village Wednesday night, authorities confirmed.
Shortly after 10:45 p.m., officers from the Central Division responded to a call from an individual reporting he found his roommate deceased, said Lt. Steve Shebloski with the San Diego Police Homicide Unit.
Once at the scene, officers found a deceased man with multiple stab wounds to his upper body. SDPD immediately began to work the investigation as a homicide. The victim was described by police as a 38-year-old man.
Meanwhile, a woman at the apartment complex flagged down police by throwing things out of her apartment window, said Lt. Shebloski. She informed them her boyfriend was allegedly acting strange and violent.
At that time, officers ultimately checked the welfare of the woman’s apartment. Based on some physical evidence, including injuries seen on his body, the boyfriend was detained by officers.
According to Lt. Shebloski, the man was transported to a local hospital for treatment to those injuries. After that, SDPD says he will be transported to headquarters for further evaluation. They are working to determine if this particular neighbor had any involvement in this homicide.
Police say the intersection of the 600 block of 14th street will be blocked off for several hours as the scene is processed.
There is no current threat to residents in the apartment building or the general public, according to SDPD.
Anyone with information related to this incident is encouraged to contact SDPD’s Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2000 or Crime Stoppers at (619) 235-8477.
