The streets of Central Phoenix became the scene of a tragedy when a man succumbed to a fatal stab wound on Thursday, in an incident now under investigation by the Phoenix Police Department; as reported by FOX 10 Phoenix, officers responded to a call near 3rd Avenue and Buckeye Road around 10:30 a.m. and discovered 35-year-old Cisco Dennis, who had sustained at least one stab wound.

Dennis was quickly transported to a local hospital where his life ebbed away, the valiant efforts of medical professionals notwithstanding, and despite their attempts to staunch the tide of his wounds he was pronounced deceased; Phoenix Police have fervently called for witnesses, urging anyone with information to reach out to Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS, with Spanish speakers asked to contact Testigo Silencioso at 480-TESTIGO.

Continuing the narrative shared by 12News, homicide detectives have now overtaken the case, piecing together the final moments of Dennis's life, and although the police have yet to publicly identify a suspect or release further detail about the possible circumstances leading up to the brutal attack, their efforts remain undiminished as the community reels in the aftermath of the violence.

The investigation remains ongoing and there is a heightened sense of urgency for the dissemination of information and the stitching together of community dialogue.
