A suspect has been arrested in connection with the deadly stabbing of a man in Clairemont, the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) said Wednesday.
Brandon Ingram, 32, is facing a charge of first-degree murder in the killing of Ronald Labastida, 31.
Two days ago, at around 12:45 a.m., SDPD officers were called to the 5200 block of Channing Street in Clairemont to investigate reports of a stabbing in the area. When police arrived, they discovered Labastida badly wounded inside a home.
The victim was unresponsive, suffering from a stab wound to his upper body. Labastida was rushed to a local hospital, where he died about 40 minutes later.
According to SDPD Homicide Unit Lt. Mike Holden, Ingram was identified as the suspect in the deadly stabbing early on. He was arrested and booked into San Diego Central Jail.
Investigators have not released details on the motive behind the crime. Ingram is scheduled to make his first appearance in court on Monday.
