A San Diego neighborhood is grappling with a mysterious death after a man was found with a fatal stab wound in Oak Park. According to an official press release from the San Diego Police Department, officers and medics responded to an emergency call at 2500 Euclid Avenue in the early hours of June 17, where they discovered a 50-year-old Asian male, later identified as Son Dinh, grievously injured on the sidewalk. Despite their life-saving attempts, Dinh succumbed to his injuries shortly after being rushed to a local hospital.
The moments leading to Dinh's demise remain unclear, however, initial investigations indicate an altercation in a vehicle with a female companion, during which a knife was brandished, and Dinh was ultimately wounded, the police report states. Detectives, now handling the matter as a homicide investigation, are piecing together the evening's events and are scouring for physical evidence, interviewing possible witnesses, and extracting surveillance footage that could shed light on the sequence of actions resulting in the stabbing.
While a female connected to the incident was at the scene attempting to aid Dinh and has been identified, her identity has not been disclosed and her involvement in the incident is still under close review by the authorities. The San Diego Police Department is urging the public for their cooperation, asking anyone with information to come forward to aid in their ongoing probe into Dinh's death.
As this story unfolds, community members express their concern and the hope for a swift resolution - from locals familiar with the often peaceful sands of Oak Park to the broader San Diego community shaken by the abrupt violence inflicted upon one of their own, investigators continue to delve deeper into the troubling questions that remain unanswered in Son Dinh's death. Those with information are encouraged to reach out to the San Diego Police Homicide Unit or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously, officials stated.
