A desperate call for help from a woman in Escondido early Friday led to the discovery of her boyfriend’s body, police said.
An unidentified man was found dead inside a back bedroom of a home on E. Lincoln Avenue near Paula Way just after 2 a.m., according to Lt. Ed Varso of the Escondido Police Department.
Varso said a woman called a family member for help after she had a fight with her boyfriend. The family member called 911.
When officers arrived, they found the woman outside the home and the man in a bedroom in the rear of the house with what appear to be stab wounds, Varso said.
The man was rushed to Palomar Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Officers were interviewing the woman to learn more details of what may have transpired.
A next-door neighbor said he has heard fighting from the home in the past but never thought the fights would escalate.
