The 54-year-old victim, whose name has yet to be released, suffered a stab wound and was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The Phoenix Police Department, through the efforts of homicide detectives, was able to locate the 41-year-old suspect Fain in the vicinity of the crime scene, after piecing together evidence and conducting interviews as the FOX10 Phoenix reported Detectives are still piecing together the sequence of events that precipitated this tragic outcome, with the goal of establishing a motive for such violent conduct.
