Cold Spring man fatally stabbed, suspect in custody, police say

Police in Cold Spring, Minnesota, say a suspect is in custody in connection to a fatal stabbing on Saturday night.

Officers responded to an assault call around 8:30 p.m. at a residence near the area of Eighth Avenue North and Fourth Street North, and soon found a man suffering from a stab wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say "a male at the residence" was arrested and is being held at the Stearns County Jail. The identities of the victim and suspect haven't been released.

President and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud Aaron Fisk said in a statement on Monday that an incident took place at one of the nonprofit's residential homes in Cold Spring that resulted in the death of an employee. 

The organization's St. Luke Home, which is for people with developmental disabilities, is in the area where the stabbing took place, according to Minnesota Aging and Disability Resources.

Fisk said the nonprofit is cooperating with law enforcement and regulatory agencies investigating the incident.

"We have taken immediate steps to support the residents and staff connected to the home, and we are conducting an internal review alongside the external investigation," he added.
