Stamford Fatal Stabbing Under Investigation: UPDATE

STAMFORD, CT — Police said a man was fatally stabbed Wednesday night at a Frederick Street residence and are currently working to find the person responsible. According to Captain Richard Conklin, police received a call just before 10 p.m. reporting a man had ran and collapsed at the corner of Cove Road and Frederick Street and was bleeding very heavily.

Police and EMS responded to the area and the man was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Conklin said.

Investigative and forensic units were called to the scene and followed "a very heavy blood trail" from the corner to a Frederick Street residence where the stabbing took place, Conklin said.

Conklin said the man, who was in his 50's, was stabbed in the chest. Police are currently working to identify him.

"We’ve recovered some documents but they don’t appear to be official as to his identity," Conklin said, "so we’re still working on his identity."

According to Conklin, officers worked throughout the night, are speaking to a number of witnesses and have "made great strides" in this ongoing investigation as of early Thursday afternoon.

He also said the fire department was called to the scene to wash down the area due to the heavy amount of blood.
