Phoenix is reeling from a spate of violence that saw two men become victims of brutal attacks in separate incidents, with detectives clamoring for leads in one of the cases. In the first case, an unidentified man was found lifeless in his apartment, with officers stumbling upon the harrowing scene late Monday afternoon. According to AZFamily, police confirmed the victim showed clear "signs of trauma" when they were called to the vicinity of 19th and Glendale Avenues around 5:15 p.m.
A man fighting for his life in the hospital lay after being stabbed multiple times at another Phoenix apartment complex, the suspect in this incident is still at large. The attack unfolded shortly after midnight on Feb. 28 near Interstate 17 and Indian School Road, according to FOX 10 Phoenix. The adult male victim, whose name wasn't released, was rushed to the hospital with injuries that were grave but not expected to be fatal.
