Man Found Dead in Encanto

A man was found suffering from a stab wound in the quiet neighborhood

San Diego Police are trying to determine what killed a man whose body was found along an Encanto street early Thursday.

The man, described as in his 30s, was found on Evelyn Street just after 3 a.m. He had at least one stab wound to his chest.

EMTs attempted life-saving measures but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide investigators interviewed residents to try and determine what may have happened.

Josh Roberts lives in the community and said it felt strange to have something like this happen so close to home.

"It's a little scary. It's a little intimidating," Roberts said. "It makes me wish I could've done something about it."

Several neighbors told NBC 7 they did not hear any strange sounds overnight.  Neighbors say this is a very quiet neighborhood and the street is very narrow and dark.

"It's really disturbing," said neighbor Caroline Climax. "It's not something where you would like to wake every morning to get a knock at your door stating that someone has lost their life."

Officers have not yet identified the body.
