Fairfax County police are investigating the fatal stabbing of a man that occurred in Huntington over the weekend as a homicide.
Officers were dispatched to the Farrington Place condominiums in the 2200 block of Farrington Avenue around 12:15 a.m. on Saturday (May 9) for the reported stabbing.
“[Officers] located an adult male victim suffering from trauma to the upper body,” Fairfax County Police Department Public Affairs Bureau commander Capt. Chris Cosgriff said in a brief update early that morning. “The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.”
