A second man has been arrested and charged with murder after a stabbing at a home located in the 5500 block of Hampshire Road.
Corpus Christi Police arrested Danny Lee Knutson (01/26/1997) at 4:30 PM on Monday.
Original Post 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.
