Stabbing suspect sought after man receives life-threatening wound

According to SPPD Detective Allen Macias, the February 20 incident occurred shortly after 3:20 p.m. “Officers were dispatched to the report of a stabbing victim” at the Community Memorial Hospital Urgent Care located at 242 E. Harvard Blvd. Macias said the unidentified 25-year-old victim was so severely injured from the “possibly life-threatening” stab wound in the upper left torso area that he was “immediately” transported to the Ventura County Medical Center Trauma Unit. 

The girlfriend of the victim who brought him to the urgent care had witnessed the attack on her boyfriend that actually occurred in the 600 block of Acacia Road. “The information we’re gathering is that there was a dispute with other residents of that area, an argument ensued and shortly thereafter the victim was stabbed.”

As of Thursday morning police could only confirm the victim was stabbed once in the upper torso, but Macias said, “Once we get the actual medical report we’ll know more.... And although unconfirmed, we understand the victim was in stable condition as of Wednesday evening.”
