WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — West Valley City police say a 14-year-old juvenile has been arrested and booked into detention in connection to a fatal stabbing that left a 24-year-old man dead early Thursday.
Investigators believe an argument between the two individuals at Scottsdale Park is what lead to the incident.
Police say they were notified of a stabbing at 3755 W. 3100 South at 5:45 a.m. Authorities received reports of a victim who was unconscious and “appeared to have multiple wounds,” the post on X (formerly known as Twitter) read.
When first responders arrived on scene, they determined the victim was deceased.
The identity of the victim has not been released.
