Detectives are investigating a stabbing that occurred late Saturday night in North Stafford.

On November 16th at approximately 8:01 p.m. deputies responded to the Foxwood Village Mobile Home Park for a report of a stabbing. Due to the nature of the call, deputies quickly responded to the area. Deputy C.T. Richardson was first to arrive and made contact with the victim.

The victim had a minor stab wound in his arm, and a deeper stab wound to his leg. Deputy Richardson would apply a tourniquet on the victim’s leg and care for his wounds until Fire and Rescue staff could arrive. As the victim was transported to a local hospital, deputies worked to establish a perimeter, preserved the crime scene, and talked with witnesses to uncover what occurred.

It was discovered the victim was walking around the neighborhood with two friends. During their walk, there was an altercation with another male, who then began assaulting the victim. The victim and his friends were able to flee the immediate area before noticing the victim’s wounds. It is not believed this was a random attack.

Deputies canvassed the area and a drone was deployed in an attempt to locate a possible suspect. Unfortunately, no suspect was located.

Detectives are actively investigating the incident. If anyone has any information, please contact Detective K.A. Lawrence at 540-658-4450.
