    A man was hospitalized with serious injuries after a stabbing in Tigard early Tuesday morning, prompting a large police search for a suspect in an area near railroad tracks and nearby encampments.

    Police received a 911 call reporting the stabbing at about 7:14 a.m. Investigators believe the incident occurred behind a row of businesses on Southwest Cascade Avenue, south of Southwest Scholls Ferry Road.

    The victim, a 33-year-old man, was taken by ambulance to a hospital. His injuries are believed to be serious, police said.

    Multiple officers responded to the scene, including a K-9 unit and drone operators. Police searched a marshy, wooded area near the railroad tracks for several hours. The area includes a creek and several encampments, which officers searched as part of the investigation.

    Police said thermal imaging from a drone was used to help guide search efforts through trees, brush, camps, debris and areas along the creek.

    One man in the area was briefly detained in connection with the investigation but was later released. No arrests have been made, and detectives are continuing to work to identify a suspect.

    Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Tigard Police tips line at 503-718-COPS or email [email protected].

  • Man, 30, charged with murder, attempted murder in stabbing in St. Anthony

    A 30-year-old man is accused of killing another man and severely injuring a teenager in a stabbing in St. Anthony, Minnesota, on Saturday morning.

    A criminal complaint filed Monday in Ramsey County shows the accused man, of St. Anthony, is charged with one count each of second-degree intentional murder and second-degree attempted intentional murder. 

    Police responded to the stabbing at an apartment complex on the 2800 block of Silver Lane Northeast shortly before 5 a.m. Officers found a 44-year-old man with “significant neck wounds” and stab marks all over his body in a hallway between apartment units, the complaint said. He died at the scene. 

    The officers saw that a “violent struggle” had happened in the hallway, according to court documents, and saw “some sort of carving” on the outside door of one of the units.

    A young girl came out of the unit and told police her brother was still inside, the complaint said. Officers then found the teen, who had been stabbed multiple times, lying facedown on the floor of the apartment.

    The complaint said the teen told police the person who stabbed him came from a nearby apartment unit before he was taken to the hospital. Investigators later learned the accused man lived in that unit. 

    According to court documents, a rideshare driver told police at the apartment that they gave the man a ride from the complex to his parents’ home in St. Paul, Minnesota. The driver said the man was “trying to hide” when she picked him up just before 5:30 a.m., and that he was “extremely sweaty and not wearing proper clothing for the cold temperatures.”

    The man asked the driver to charge his phone during the ride, and apologized because he had “fish guts” on it, the complaint said. He said he had been in a tent with some buddies and had been doing “standard boy stuff.”

    The driver returned to the apartment after transporting the man because they thought the ride was “so strange,” according to court documents. The man’s father was also at the complex, looking for him. He told police the man suffers from mental health issues and was worried. 

    According to the complaint, the father said he and his wife received a text message from their son that said “sorry” around 5:59 a.m. The man showed up at his parents’ house a minute later. 

    The man borrowed his parents’ Mercedes-Benz, court documents said. His father thought his son would be going to their cabin in Two Harbors, Minnesota.

    Investigators, while searching the man’s apartment and garage, found that the man escaped before police were able to set up a perimeter around the apartment, the complaint said. They later interviewed the teen, who said he was woken up by a “Sawzall noise” coming from the hallway before the stabbing.

    The teen said he opened the door to the unit he was sleeping in and saw a man, according to court documents. The 44-year-old man then woke up and went into the hallway. According to the teen, the 44-year-old man said something along the lines of “it was a lease violation,” before the teen saw a “sharp weapon like a screwdriver.” 

    The man and the 44-year-old man pushed each other, the complaint said, before the teen punched the man. The teen said he was then stabbed. 

    Court documents said the 44-year-old man pulled the other man off the teen, who saw the man attacking the 44-year-old man as he ran back into his apartment unit.

    St. Louis County sheriff’s deputies located the Mercedes-Benz later on Thursday, according to court documents. The accused man fled when they tried to make a traffic stop. He later crashed and was taken into custody. 

    If convicted, the accused man faces up to 60 years in prison. 

    If you or someone you know is in emotional distress, help is available from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI. Call the NAMI Helpline at 800-950-6264 or text “HelpLine” to 62640. There are more than 600 local NAMI organizations and affiliates across the country, many of which offer free support and education programs.

  • Man wanted in deadly St. Anthony stabbing arrested in Duluth after chase ends in crash


    After a chase ended in a crash, deputies in Duluth, Minnesota, on Saturday arrested a man wanted in connection with a fatal stabbing in the Twin Cities.

    The St. Anthony Police Department says officers were called to Equinox Apartments just after 5 a.m. for a reported stabbing.

    Officers arrived to find a man and a boy who had been injured. The man died, but the boy was transported to the hospital with serious injuries.

    Law enforcement attempted to contact the suspect, who they believed had been inside an apartment, but later learned he had fled the scene before officers arrived, police say.

    The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office says information indicated the suspect may have been attempting to drive a stolen vehicle to an address in Lake County, along the North Shore of Lake Superior.

    A deputy observed the vehicle in Duluth around 9 a.m. Deputies attempted to perform a traffic stop, but the suspect fled in the vehicle for several miles before it crashed into a squad car near the intersection of North Shore Drive and Homestead Road.

    Law enforcement arrested the suspect, who attempted to flee on foot.

    A St. Louis County sheriff’s deputy suffered minor injuries in the crash and has since been released from the hospital, according to the sheriff’s office.

  • Trial set for Northern Virginia man accused of conspiring with au pair to kill his wife and another man – WTOP News

    Nearly eight months after Brendan Banfield’s wife and a stranger were killed in the Banfields’ Virginia home in February 2023, police returned to the scene of the killings.

    (CNN) — Nearly eight months after Brendan Banfield’s wife and a stranger were killed in the Banfields’ Virginia home in February 2023, police returned to the scene of the killings.

    They entered the home and went to the bedroom where Christine Banfield was fatally stabbed. There, on the bedside table, investigators found a framed photo of Brendan smiling with another woman – the family’s au pair, according to court records.

    Brendan Banfield now faces a double-murder trial, with jury selection scheduled Monday, as prosecutors allege he plotted with the au pair to kill his wife and another man. Prosecutors say that man had been lured to the home to frame him for Christine’s death – and to make his own killing appear to be an act of self-defense.

    Banfield – a former IRS agent, according to CNN affiliate WUSA – has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and a firearm offense in the fatal stabbing of his wife and the fatal shooting of Joseph Ryan.

    Prosecutors say Brendan Banfield and the family’s Brazilian au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, were having an extra-marital affair and carried out the plan together. The salacious plot features allegations of BDSM sexual role play, trips to the gun range and false 911 calls, all in an attempt to kill Banfield’s wife and frame Ryan, according to prosecutors.

    Peres Magalhães was initially charged with murder and has since pleaded guilty to a lesser count of involuntary manslaughter for fatally shooting Ryan.

    She has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in exchange for a recommendation that she be sentenced to time served, according to the plea agreement. She is likely to be the star witness in Banfield’s murder trial.

    The trial is expected to last about four weeks.

    Banfield has been held without bond since his arrest, according to police. He faces up to life in prison on the murder charges.

    Salacious allegations to face jury

    The case began with calls to 911 from within the Banfields’ Herndon, Virginia, home on February 24, 2023. In one call, Banfield told dispatchers he’d shot a man who stabbed his wife, according to police. There was no forced entry at the home.

    In an upstairs bedroom, police found Christine Banfield, 37, with stab wounds and Ryan, 39, dead of gunshot wounds nearby. She was taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead, according to Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis.

    Peres Magalhães, 25, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and a firearm offense in October 2023 and has been in custody since her arrest.

    When police searched the home, they found a framed photo of Banfield and Peres Magalhães smiling together on his bedside table.

    A year later, in October 2024, court records show Peres Magalhães pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. At a plea hearing, prosecutors read aloud a statement laying out the key allegations in the case.

    As they alleged, Peres Magalhães began working as an au pair for the couple in late 2021, and in August 2022 she and Brendan Banfield began an extra-marital relationship.

    “In the fall of 2022, Brendan Banfield expressed to Peres Magalhães his desire to be rid of his wife and soon thereafter began planning to kill his wife as well as, ultimately, Joseph Ryan, the victim in this case,” prosecutors said.

    Banfield set up an account on Fetlife.com, a sexual fetish site, began communicating with Ryan and lured him to the Banfield home, prosecutors said. Ryan “likely believed” he was meeting Christine Banfield for a consensual sexual encounter involving “violent sexual role play” with a knife, prosecutors said.

    Banfield directed Peres Magalhães to talk with Ryan in a phone call to confirm details, according to prosecutors. She expressed hesitation with the plan at various points, prosecutors said, but “he insisted it was too late for her to back out.”

    Banfield taught the au pair how to fire a gun at a local gun range in the fall and winter of 2022, prosecutors said.

    As part of their plan, when Ryan came to the home, Peres Magalhães called Banfield to report that a strange man was at the house, and Banfield was waiting at a nearby McDonald’s so he could return to the home quickly, prosecutors said.

    He and Peres Magalhães put his child in the basement and then went upstairs to the Banfields’ bedroom, with Brendan Banfield holding his service weapon and the au pair holding a firearm he had purchased a month earlier, according to prosecutors.

    “The two entered the bedroom and Joseph Ryan was holding Christine Banfield down,” prosecutors said. “Brendan Banfield called out, ‘Police officer,’ and then shot Joseph Ryan in the head, and Ryan fell away from Christine Banfield.”

    Peres Magalhães called 911 but ended the call at Banfield’s direction, prosecutors said.

    Banfield stabbed his wife, according to prosecutors. Peres Magalhães saw Ryan still moving and shot him, prosecutors said.

    The au pair then called 911 again and they reported the killings as if Ryan was an intruder who had stabbed Banfield’s wife, according to prosecutors.

    ‘There was a lot more to what met the eye’

    Banfield was indicted on murder charges in September 2024. The indictment alleges he “willfully, deliberately, and with premeditation” killed his wife and Ryan.

    “I knew, I suspected, I had a feeling that there was a lot more to what met the eye that morning,” Chief Davis said. “And certainly it has taken a road, 570 days later, where we are finally in a position to announce that two persons are being charged and held responsible and introduced to our criminal justice system for these two murders.”

    Weeks later, Peres Magalhães pleaded guilty to the lesser charge for shooting and killing Ryan, according to prosecutors.

    “Today’s agreement marks a significant step forward in this case, and it is an important development in our pursuit of justice for the victims and their families,” Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano said of the au pair’s guilty plea.

    In addition, Banfield was indicted on a count of felony child abuse and neglect and felony child cruelty related to the killings in December 2024. His daughter, who was 4 at the time, was present at the scene, according to prosecutors.

  • Police Seek Suspect In Two Northeast Portland Stabbings – KXL

    Photos provided by Portland Police

    PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland police are searching for a 54-year-old man suspected in two stabbings that occurred Wednesday afternoon in Northeast Portland.

    Officers were first called at about 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 24 to reports of a stabbing near the 3000 block of Northeast Weidler Street. A 20-year-old man was found with a neck injury and was taken to a local hospital. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate a suspect at that time.

    Shortly afterward, police responded to another call involving an assault near Northeast 24th Avenue and Northeast Hancock Street. A 67-year-old man was found with injuries to his neck and head and was transported to a hospital with serious injuries.

    Police believe both assaults are connected and were carried out by the same suspect. Both victims have since been released from the hospital.

    Detectives with the Portland Police Bureau’s Major Crimes Unit identified Richard Scott Stuart, 54, as the suspect after investigating the incidents throughout the holiday period. An arrest warrant has been issued for Stuart on two counts of attempted murder and other related charges.

    Police are asking anyone who sees Stuart to call 911 immediately and not attempt to detain him. Investigators say he may be using public transportation.

  • Stabbing, liquid toss attack in Japan tire factory injures 15

    A man was arrested after stabbing eight people and injuring seven others with what was believed to be bleach at a tire factory in central Japan on Friday, officials said. There was no immediate explanation of his motive.

    Eight people were taken to hospitals after being stabbed by the man with a knife at the Yokohama Rubber Company in the city of Mishima, in the Shizuoka prefecture, west of Tokyo, according to the Fujisan Nanto Fire Department.

    The department told The Associated Press five of the people stabbed were in serious condition but other details weren’t available.

    Seven others were injured by the liquid thrown at them during the attack and brought to hospitals, the fire department said.  

    Shizuoka prefectural police said the attacker, a 38-year-old man, was arrested for alleged attempted murder at the factory.

    French news agency AFP reports that The Asahi Shimbun daily newspaper quoted investigative sources as saying that the man had ties to the factory. He was wearing what appeared to be a gas mask, the paper and other media said. Asahi also said he was apparently armed with what it described as a survival knife.

    Violent crime is relatively rare in Japan, which has a low murder rate and some of the world’s toughest gun laws.

  • Petaluma teens arrested in fatal San Rafael stabbing


    Three teenagers from Petaluma were arrested in the Tuesday stabbing death of a man in San Rafael, police said on Friday.

    In a press release, the San Rafael Police Department said it received multiple 911 calls about a man who had been injured in an assault in the area of Mill and Hoag streets in the city’s Canal neighborhood. A police drone was deployed to locate the injured victim, which arrived at the scene faster than responding officers, and the drone pilot coordinated the initial emergency response with police and fire personnel, the department said.

    First responders treated the 44-year-old at the scene and the San Rafael Fire Department took him to a hospital where he later died of his injuries. The Marin County Coroner’s Office will release his identity after his family is notified.

    Following an investigation, three juveniles from Petaluma were identified as the suspects, and over the past two days, they were located, apprehended, and booked into Marin County Juvenile Hall on homicide charges, police said.

    Investigators have not ruled out the possibility that the stabbing was gang-related, but the motive remained under investigation, police said. The department said investigators believe that all the suspects involved in this incident are now in custody.

    Courtesy Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

    OREGON CITY, OR – A 19-year-old Sandy man who stabbed his mother’s boyfriend in the neck was sentenced December 15th to 90 months in prison, the maximum sentence allowed under Oregon law.

    Ruben Charles Estanislao Garcia previously pleaded guilty in Clackamas County court to Assault in the Second Degree.

    Prosecutors said the stabbing happened on August 7, 2025, around 7:30 p.m., after Garcia’s mother called her 45-year-old boyfriend to the home because she was concerned about Garcia’s increasingly aggressive behavior.

    According to court records, as the boyfriend approached the front door, Garcia confronted him with a knife and stabbed toward his neck. The victim was able to push Garcia away.

    Sandy Police officers arrived to find the boyfriend on the front porch, covered in blood and holding a towel to the left side of his neck. Officers reported that he was beginning to lose consciousness. One officer described a roughly 1½-inch puncture wound near the victim’s jugular vein, with blood rapidly flowing from the injury.

    Officers said that as they began providing emergency medical aid, Garcia rushed out of the house and moved aggressively toward them. He was subdued and taken into custody.

    The victim was transported to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center for treatment. Police did not release an update on his condition at the time of sentencing.

  • One woman stabbed another inside a restaurant, Miami-Dade deputies say

    One woman was stabbed and one was detained following an argument at Fritanga Pinolandia, according to Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.

    Panhandling outside a North Miami-Dade restaurant turned into a stabbing inside the restaurant, Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said.

    The woman stabbed in Fritanga Pinolandia, 1100 NW 119th St., is in stable condition, MDSO said.

    Damaris Rodriguez, 22, was arrested on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon Wednesday afternoon. The arrest returned Rodriguez to Miami-Dade Corrections custody 13 days after she was released on her own recognizance following an October arrest for cocaine possession.

    That October arrest occurred at 1085 NW 117th St., a house two blocks from Pinolandia, but Rodriguez’s address on that arrest form is “homeless.” Wednesday, MDSO said, she was in front of Pinolandia asking for money just before 2:30 p.m.

    When a woman rejected her, MDSO said, Rodriguez followed her inside the restaurant and started a fight.

    “She stabbed the victim in the upper extremities,” MDSO said.

    Rodriguez was arrested while Miami-Dade Fire Rescue took the stabbed woman to a hospital.

    Video from inside the restaurant shows the confrontation that led to the stabbing. Aerial footage captured the scene shortly after the attack around 2:30 p.m.

    Restaurant manager Bernardo Ruiz told Herald news partner CBS News Miami the women had been arguing outside for days before the fight moved inside, frightening staff and customers.

    “One of the lady … she came with scissors in her hands, and she start to hurt the other lady four times on the head inside of my business. So all the customers and our staff was scared to see that, you know?” Ruiz said.

    “They running out. They was scared to see the lady with the scissors and blood coming out,” he added.

  • UAB football player, accused of stabbing 2 teammates, remains in custody

    A football player at the University of Alabama was arrested after allegedly stabbing two teammates Saturday morning, hours before the team’s game against the University of South Florida, university officials said.

    The two wounded players were in stable condition, interim head coach Alex Mortensen said at the postgame news conference. He said the team decided to play to honor graduating seniors in the last home game of the season, though several players opted to sit it out due to the incident.

    “We’re grateful to report that two players injured in an incident this morning at the Football Operations Building are in stable condition. Our thoughts are with them and their families as they recover,” the university said in a statement, adding: “UAB’s top priority remains the safety and well-being of all of our students. Given patient privacy and the ongoing investigation, we have no further comment at this time.”

    The teammate suspected in the stabbing was in custody, the university said. The school did not release the names of the players injured.

    Daniel Mincey, an offensive lineman who transferred to UAB in May, was arrested and booked on charges of aggravated assault and attempted murder in the afternoon, according to Jefferson County Jail records. He was in custody in Birmingham and appeared to be the only UAB player who was arrested Saturday.

    It was not immediately clear if Mincey had legal representation. Attempts to reach family members for comment were not immediately successful.

    UAB officials would not confirm that Mincey was involved in the stabbing.

    The team’s online roster lists Mincey as a 6-foot-4 redshirt freshman from Pompano Beach, Florida, who was previously at the University of Kentucky.

    Mortensen said that once the team decided to play, it focused on its normal game-day routines. He also said counseling was being made available for players who want it.

    The coach declined to share further details about the incident, citing the ongoing investigation.

    The stabbing occurred on campus at the Football Operations Building.

    The Blazers lost 48-18 to South Florida to fall to 3-8 on the season and 1-6 in the American Conference. Their last game is Nov. 29 at Tulsa.

  • Fremont man accused of killing sex offender expected back in court soon

    An attorney for the Fremont man charged with the murder of an elderly registered sex offender asked a judge Thursday for an extension to enter a plea due to the man’s alleged mental health issues, according to NBC Bay Area.

    Varun Suresh, 29, appeared in the East County Hall of Justice in Dublin as the judge granted his defense more time before entering a plea in the case that reportedly left David Brimmer, 71, dead from multiple stab wounds in a neighborhood near the Fremont Hills.

    Suresh’s attorney told NBC Bay Area in a recent interview that “there are significant mental health issues we are exploring.” Suresh is expected back in court on Dec. 17.

    In the case, Suresh is accused of using the Megan’s Law website, a state database which tracks the home addresses of registered sex offenders, to develop a plan to stab Brimmer to death.

    Suresh allegedly posed as a door-to-door accountant looking for clients to coax Brimmer into speaking with him at Brimmer’s home. Suresh allegedly chased Brimmer into another nearby home with a knife, slashed him in the kitchen and stalked the bloody man to the front yard before fatally stabbing him several times. Suresh then allegedly stood up, smoked a cigarette and gave himself up to police.

    The fatal incident police originally reported as a fight in a hillside neighborhood near Mission Peak was the result of Suresh’s pre-planned plot to kill “child molesters” and “sex offenders,” according to court documents. After Suresh surrendered to police, he reportedly admitted the whole scheme to investigators.

    Suresh allegedly told police that he chose Brimmer because he wanted “someone who is easy to kill” and that “white guys are so much more graceful. … They have no victimhood.”

    “I’m hoping … that because he’s a pedophile … like, everyone hates pedophiles … so like, it should be cool,” Suresh said, according to police. “I honestly don’t like pedophiles. They deserve to die.”

    According to the Megan’s Law website, Brimmer, who lived at 743 Solstice Ct., had four prior convictions of sexual offenses involving children in Alameda County between 1995 and 2004.

    The incident marked Fremont’s fifth homicide of the year.
