The Phoenix Police Department is urgently seeking the public's assistance to locate 34-year-old Edwin Lopez, identified as a person of interest in the fatal stabbing of Cisco Dennis, as per a FOX 10 Phoenix report. On the morning of August 29, officers responded to a home near Central Avenue and Lincoln Street following reports of a stabbing incident - here, they discovered Dennis with a critical stab wound, as 12 News documented.
Although first responders rushed Dennis, aged 35, to a local medical facility, he tragically succumbed to his injuries, later being pronounced deceased, Lopez remains at-large ever since the incident transpired, with investigators believing he has key information regarding the circumstances surrounding the altercation and consequent stabbing. Details from the authorities describe Lopez as a Hispanic male, standing 5'8" tall, weighing 160 lbs., and having black hair with brown eyes, and it's worth noting that, according to officers there was some sort of dispute between Dennis and Lopez before the stabbing took place.
Law enforcement officials and the Silent Witness program are now making a concerted effort, underlining the urgency of soliciting tips that could lead to locating Lopez and untangling the threads of this case. To encourage potential witnesses, there is even a reward of up to $2,000 on offer for information leading to an arrest - a decisive action, designed to pry open the silent lips that detain justice.
For those in the know, the call to reach out is clear: contact Phoenix Police at (602) 262-6151, or the Silent Witness line at (480) WITNESS, Spanish speakers may use (480) TESTIGO.
