A family quarrel turned dangerous on the 7500 block of 21st Ave S.W. on May 10, resulting in a 29-year-old male suffering a stab wound to the back.
According to Det. Renee Witt with the Seattle Police Department, an argument started between two brothers, 20 and 18 years old, at a home just off Delridge Way S.W. and within a half block of the SPD Southwest Precinct.
The argument escalated into two separate parties fighting and at some point in the melee a knife was produced and the victim was stabbed in the “lats” area, Witt said.
Ambulance, fire and squad cars responded en masse. EMTs were working on the victim at the scene before transporting him by ambulance. A male was placed into the back of a squad car, but it is unclear at this time if he is the stabbing suspect.
The stabbing occurred around 1:15 p.m.
This story will be updated when police finish their investigation.
