Residents who live and exercise near the area told NBC6 they often see property damage happening nearby, and were not surprised to learn about a stabbing.
“I’m not that worried,” said Craig, a man seen biking at a park across the street from the scene. “We have the park here and all, but maybe we need more police patrols or bicycles or something because there’s groups of teenagers walking around looking for trouble.”
Investigators didn’t release any information about possible suspects, or whether they were searching for anyone, nor the ages of the men stabbed.
BSO’s Violent Crimes Unit is leading the investigation.
