SOUTH SALT LAKE — A 65-year-old man has died after his adult son allegedly stabbed him at a South Salt Lake apartment Monday, police said.

The son, 38, called police to the home at 2757 South and 300 East about 6:30 p.m., said South Salt Lake police spokesman Gary Keller. Crews pronounced the older man dead at the scene and officers arrested the son, he said.

"It's just a sad situation involving an elderly father and an adult son," Keller said.

Keller said the violence stemmed from "some type of domestic issue" but did not provide details on a possible motive, saying that police were just beginning their investigation late Monday.

Neither man's name has been released as police seek to notify family members.
