The Cities latest homicide

Date: 10/12/2015       12:12AM
Location: 5500 Hampshire Rd.
Offense: Murder (PC 19.02) 1st Degree Felony
Case Number: 1510120003

 

Corpus Christi Police Officers responded to 5500 Hampshire Rd. in reference to a stabbing. Officers contacted 2 male subjects outside of the location, one with blood on his hands. Both subjects were detained while officers investigated.

As the homicide is still being investigated, information is limited. Officers were informed that the 2 subjects and a 59 year old male victim got into an argument which escalated into a fight. At some point a knife was produced and the victim was stabbed several times in the torso area and died from his injuries.

Both male subjects were transported to the police station to be interviewed. Devin Lee Knutson (7-15-1995) was arrested and transported to the city detention center. An 18 year old male is being treated for his injuries and will possibly be booked into the City Detention Center later today.

43rd CPA Session

The 44th Session of the Citizens Police Academy is set to begin on September 2, 2015. We are now accepting applications! The concept of the Citizens Police Academy (C.P.A.) involves a partnership with the citizens of Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi Police Department.

Graduates of this program are not licensed officers nor do they hold any law enforcement powers. Citizens will gain an appreciation of the problems and challenges facing law enforcement and have an opportunity to offer comments and ideas regarding solutions.
The C.P.A. is an eleven week program and meets every Wednesday evening from 6:30pm-9:30pm at the Corpus Christi Police Department’s Main Station (321 John Sartain). There are several hands-on exercises and, at the end of the program, you will participate in role play exercises and make decisions as a police officer would. You will also be signed up for a 4-hour “Tour of Duty” and ride with an officer to see first-hand what happens on the street.
