“Upon arrival, officers located a 44-year-old man suffering from apparent stab wounds,” Acting Lt. Chris Leahy said. “San Diego Fire-Rescue personnel transported him to a local trauma center, where he later died from his injuries.”<\/p>\n

Leahy said a preliminary investigation indicates the individuals involved were known to one another, and an altercation occurred among them in the encampment prior to the stabbing.<\/p>\n

Leahy said homicide detectives were processing the scene and “have spoken with witnesses and individuals present to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.”<\/p>\n

Officers later arrested Michael Clark about a block away from the scene in the 4800 block of Friars Road at about 1 a.m. Sunday, police said.<\/p>\n

Clark was taken to police headquarters to be interviewed and was later booked into San Diego County Central Jail on suspicion of robbery and murder charges, according to police.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old victim’s identity is known but is being withheld until after his family is notified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 29-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a deadly stabbing at a riverbed encampment.
