Officers responded to a person down call at an apartment complex at the above address and found the victim lying in the parking lot. Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene. He had been stabbed.

The victim, described only as a Hispanic male, had no identification on him. He is believed to be in his mid to late 20s, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 140 pounds. He was wearing a brown and tan striped sweater and black jeans.
