OGDEN — A man was in critical condition after being stabbed by two gang members Saturday, police said.
Jose Garcia and Julio Saucedo are documented gang members who were involved in a fight at a party near 1100 22nd Street at about 1 a.m., according to the Ogden Metro Gang Task Force. A 40-year-old Ogden man with no gang affiliation was stabbed several times during the fight, police said.
"Although Garcia and Saucedo are members of a criminal street gang, the victim has no gang affiliation, and it is evident that the incident did not stem from any gang rivalry," a statement from the Metro Gang Task Force reads.
