SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - The San Diego Police Department has identified the man killed in a Sunday morning stabbing in the Barrio Logan neighborhood.
On Wednesday, Dec. 14, SDPD identified the victim of the fatal stabbing as Miguel Angel Gonzalez-Valdez, a 31-year-old man from Lemon Grove. The department did not provide any information about a suspect in its latest press release.
Police responded to the 1600 block of Logan Ave. around 12:07 a.m. Sunday, Dec. 11, after someone called to report they had found the stabbing victim nearby. Officers from the Central Division arrived on scene within minutes, finding a Hispanic man suffering from several stab wounds to his upper body, SDPD's press release says.
The officers started giving the man first aid and called for medics, but the man did not survive. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:24 a.m., according to SDPD.
The San Diego Police Homicide Unit also responded to the scene.
"It is still early in the investigation and little is known about the circumstances leading up to the male’s death," the department says.
Police say they do know there was another man with the victim when the stabbing happened. Officers briefly detained that man at the scene, but he was released a short time later, the release says.
Homicide detectives are looking for physical evidence, surveillance video and any other witnesses who may be able to give more information about the stabbing to police.
