Neighbors in the 4400 block of Warbonnet Way called police around 11:30 p.m. Sunday about a man who was screaming at their doors and bleeding.
 
Arriving officers located the man and saw he was suffering from an apparent stab wound. The man was taken to Spring Valley Hospital, then transported to the UMC Trauma Center. He was pronounced dead a few hours later.
 
An investigation revealed that the man lived with a family member and a roommate at a house in the 4200 block of Warbonnet Way.
