Officers arrived to find a man suffering from a stab wound to his chest. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim and his neighbor got into an altercation on Yucca Street before the neighbor pulled out “an unknown weapon” and stabbed the victim before fleeing, police said.

About an hour after the attack, police arrested the victim’s neighbor at his home.
