WEST VALLEY CITY — One man is dead after a stabbing at an apartment complex in West Valley City, police said Thursday night.
Police received reports of a stabbing about 8:15 p.m., according to Lt. Steve Burke of West Valley City police. They discovered a man suffering from stab wounds and rendered aid, but the man ultimately died of his injuries, Burke said.
The man was identified Friday as Treyvon Stephens, 19, according to a tweet from West Valley City police.
Police say Stephens was stabbed in the parking lot of the apartment complex at 4000 S. Redwood Road and then ran into a friend's apartment. Two men, who were not identified, fled the scene and are believed to be known to Stephens, police said in a tweet Friday.
Investigators believe Stephens had been spending time with the two men earlier Thursday, but no motive has been identified as of Friday morning, police said.
