ROSEVILLE — A Placer County jury found a man guilty of first-degree murder for stabbing his roommate 17 times in their Roseville home, prosecutors said Tuesday.
On June 15, 2022, first responders went to the 400 block of Loretto Drive for a report of a man down inside a home. The victim was found on the living room floor with a broken-off knife in his abdomen, the Placer County District Attorney's Office said.
