The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office is looking for an 18-year-old man in connection with the death of a 9-year-old boy stabbed in Discovery Bay this morning, a spokesman said.

William Schultz, of Discovery Bay, is a suspect in a stabbing reported in the 1900 block of Frost Way around 10 a.m., sheriff’s spokesman Jimmy Lee said. Deputies arrived to the scene and learned that a family member took the 9-year-old boy to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Lee said.
