Two men stabbed, 1 killed, along Broadway in Sacramento

SACRAMENTO - Police are investigating a double stabbing that happened along Broadway on Saturday night.

The incident happened around 5:20 p.m. in the 400 block of Broadway. Sacramento police officers responded to the call of an assault. When they arrived, they found a man with serious injuries from at least a single stab wound. He was pronounced dead on the scene by Sacramento Fire Department personnel. 

A second man was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. He has been contacted by the police, according to Sacramento Police Department Chief Kathy Lester. 

Sacramento Police Department homicide detectives have taken over the investigation, due to the circumstances, Lester says. The motive for the stabbings remains under investigation; however, police believe a disturbance of some kind happened before the assault.
