Three Stabbing Victims in Santa Rosa Linked to Gangs

From Bay City News Service

When officers responded Santa Rosa to reports of an out-of-control party at a residence in the 1200 block of Marble Avenue at about 11:25 p.m., according to Santa Rosa police, they found a large amount of blood at the front entrance.

That led them to discover three stabbing victims from the "party," including one hiding under a bed.

The victim, a 17-year-old Santa Rosa resident, was treated for non-life-threatening wounds, and arrested for an outstanding warrant, police said.

A second victim was driven from the same party to a hospital emergency room, police said. He was a 17-year-old Santa Rosa boy who also had an active arrest warrant. He was taken into custody after being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

A third victim was located at a Jack-in-the-Box restaurant at 425 Sebastopol Road. Friends had driven there after the party. The 20-year-old Santa Rosa man was taken to a hospital with injuries that were potentially life threatening.

All three victims were known gang members, police said.

A gang-related stabbing of two 25-year old Healdsburg men occurred last week at the high school tennis courts. That case remains unsolved.

Suspect information was not immediately available. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Santa Rosa police at (707) 543-3670.
