San Diego police arrested a 29-year-old man early Tuesday on suspicion of fatally stabbing his younger brother in a Point Loma market\u2019s parking lot.<\/p>\n
Police responded shortly after midnight to the Barons Market on West Point Loma Boulevard near Chapman Street after receiving multiple reports of a stabbing. Police were told the two men had argued before the stabbing occurred, said homicide Lt. Lou Maggi.<\/p>\n
Officers and medics found an unconscious man in the parking lot and rendered medical aid. The victim was taken to a hospital, but could not be revived, Maggi said.<\/p>\n
The name of the 19-year-old victim was not immediately released.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are still gathering the details about what (the argument) was about and why it escalated to a stabbing,\u201d Maggi said in an email. \u201cThe brothers were both parked in the parking lot, but the store was closed. Neither have any known connection to the store, but the decedent lived nearby.\u201d<\/p>\n
Around 4:40 a.m., police went to Linda Vista and arrested Charles Fluker, the victim\u2019s older brother, at his residence on Ulric Street.\u00a0 Maggi said Fluker was identified as a suspect through a \u201ccombination of technology and information obtained at the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fluker was being held without bail in San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder, according to online jail records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego police arrested a 29-year-old man early Tuesday on suspicion of fatally stabbing his younger brother in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":327382,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8,138,4749,134,181,1338,100],"class_list":["post-334419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-domestic-violence","tag-homicide","tag-latest-headlines","tag-morning-wire","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334419\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
