No charges in fatal stabbing case in Grant Hill

SAN DIEGO (CNS) – No criminal charges were filed Wednesday against a man arrested along with his teenage son in connection with a fatal stabbing in the Grant Hill neighborhood last week.

The fatal Friday afternoon fight occurred near the intersection of 27th Street and L Street, where officers found a man with at least one stab wound and a head injury, according to the San Diego Police Department. He was taken to the hospital and died a short time later, the department said.

Police identified the victim Wednesday as 36-year-old San Diego resident Moises Duarte.

Police said the suspects and Duarte were in an argument stemming from vandalism that occurred at the same location about a month ago. The ministry added that during the fight, the suspect’s vehicle was damaged by rocks and sticks and then crashed into a power pole.

A 37-year-old man and his 17-year-old son were arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing, while the father was booked into the county jail on suspicion of murder. On Wednesday, the day of the trial, a spokesman for the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office said no charges had been filed in the case. San Diego police said charges were not being filed “pending additional investigation.”

Duarte’s 15-year-old son was also temporarily detained by police teams at the scene and then handed over to his mother. Authorities said he will not face charges.

Anyone with information about the fight or stabbing is asked to call the SDPD Homicide Unit at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
