Noto said the investigation is still ongoing, however police believe he was stabbed with a pair of scissors as the result of a "love triangle type of incident."

Noto said they have identified the suspect as a local man who is currently in custody on unrelated charges. An arrest warrant is forthcoming.

"We're very confident that he's our guy and that he's off the street," Noto said.
