When the officers arrived, they located an adult male with a stab wound to his abdomen. The victim was able to provide a suspect description before being transported to the hospital. A second adult male was also stabbed and had multiple stab wounds to his torso. The suspect was found and detained and had a knife in his possession. The suspect admitted to stabbing both victims during a post-Miranda interview.
What is a Miranda Warning?
5150 Hold
On February 7, officers responded to an individual who was threating to shoot himself in the head. The former Navy Corpsman has been suffering increasing mental health issues. He also has had friends who have recently committed suicide. The man left the scene prior to the officers’ arrival but later showed up at the front lobby at the Police Department. He was detained and taken to Palomar Medical Center on a 5150, emergency 72-hour hold.
Carjacking
On February 10, a woman was parking her vehicle and noticed a car behind her. When she started walking towards her apartment door, a black male adult, ran up behind her with a black handgun and demanded her keys. The suspect fled in the woman’s vehicle. The victim’s vehicle had LOJACK and was recovered. The carjacking suspect was wanted for other robberies and carjacking cases in San Diego and was taken into custody over the weekend.
