SACRAMENTO — A man was fatally stabbed on the 4000 Block of Shining Star Drive in Sacramento on October 19, according to Sacramento Police Department officials.
The incident took place around 5:18 p.m. when local patrol officers were dispatched following reports of a stabbing in the area. Upon their arrival, officers found an adult male with at least one life-threatening stab wound. Immediate life-saving attempts were initiated by the police, later taken over by Sacramento Fire Department personnel. Unfortunately, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
