A man died at the hospital after being stabbed on Friday in a Glendale neighborhood, and a suspect is in custody.

The incident happened at about 8:25 a.m. on March 15 at a home near 67th and Maryland Avenues. When Glendale Police officers got to the scene, they found the victim, since identified by police as 18-year-old Daniel James Santiago, with life-threatening injuries. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators say a witness was able to describe the suspect and said he fled the area on foot after the stabbing. Officers found the suspect and took him into custody. He has since been identified as 20-year-old Robert Leo Williams.

Williams was booked into jail and is accused of second-degree murder.
