San Angelo Police Investigate Stabbing on Austin Street

San Angelo police are investigating a stabbing that occurred at 9:28 p.m. at a residence in the 1600 block of Austin St.

Officer Rick Tinsley, acting supervisor, said when police arrived, they found a male with injuries that appeared to have been caused by a “sharp, bladed instrument.”

“The officers followed a trail of blood to the Capri Apartments,” at 602 W. Ave. M, Tinsley said. The blood trail led them to an open door for one of the units where police located who Tinsley is identifying only as a suspect at this time.
