A deadly encounter at a Laveen bus stop leaves the local community grasping for answers. A man, whose name has no yet been released by authorities, was stabbed to death late Tuesday evening. Phoenix police swiftly responded to the incident around 9:10 p.m. at the bus stop located near 39th Avenue and Baseline Road, close to Cesar Chavez High School, according to azfamily.com.
