YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – The Yuma Police Department (YPD) is investigating a stabbing which left one man dead.
YPD says they responded to the area of S. Madison Avenue and E. 28th Street at around 10:20 p.m. Sunday after receiving reports of an aggravated assault.
After officers arrived, YPD says they found a 30-year-old man near a driveway with a stab wound. The man was taken to Onvida Health where he later died.
Neighbors say the stabbing is highly unusual for the area.
“This is the first time ever that someone’s been stabbed or murdered in this neighborhood,” said local resident Stephanie Garcia. “It’s a really quiet neighborhood. Everyone knows everyone, kids are going to work, going to school, if there’s a party, everyone’s invited.”
YPD says they don’t have a suspect in custody at this time, and the investigation is ongoing.
If anyone has any information regarding the case, call YPD at (928) 373-4700 or 78-CRIME at (928) 782-7463 to remain anonymous. If the information leads to an arrest, they may receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.
