One of two homeless men stabbed in the face in Sacramento attack dies two days later
One of two homeless men stabbed in the face in an attack early Sunday in Sacramento died Tuesday morning in a hospital after succumbing to his injuries, authorities said.
Sgt. Amar Gandhi, a spokesman for the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, said the homeless man in his 30s who had been listed in critical condition died at the hospital. The Sacramento County Coroner’s Office will release the man’s name and age after his family has been notified.
The stabbing was reported about 4 a.m. Sunday in the area near El Camino and Howe avenues, according to the Sheriff’s Office. A homeless man in his 60s called 911 to report he’d been stabbed in the face.
Sheriff’s officials said deputies arrived at the scene and found the other stabbing victim, the homeless man in his 30s, who was unresponsive. The deputies began administering first aid and resuscitated him, before medics arrived and took both wounded men to a hospital.
On Tuesday morning, Gandhi said the homeless man in his 60s wounded in Sunday’s stabbing remained at the hospital receiving medical treatment. He’s expected to survive his injuries.
The Sheriff’s Office has not released any suspect description or announced any arrests in connection with the stabbing.
Investigators asked anyone with relevant information about this stabbing to call the Sheriff’s Office at 916-874-5115.
