St. Paul Police Sgt. Mike Ernster said the fight happened sometime before 5:23 p.m. Friday when officers were called to the 200 block of East 7th Street. They arrived and found a man bleeding in a gas station parking lot from “apparent stab related injuries.”
Fire department medics responded and brought him to Region’s Hospital, but the man died from his injuries. His death marks the 22nd homicide in St. Paul this year, according a Star Tribune database. There were 27 by this time last year.
The suspect in Friday’s stabbing stayed at the scene and authorities brought them into custody. Investigators are still piecing together what happened, but Ernster said early reports suggest the suspect and victim fought in a nearby store when the stabbing happened.
The Ramsey County Medical Examiner is expected to release the victim’s name and exact cause of death by next week.
