Police have arrested a Scotts Valley resident in connection with the stabbing of two men during a house party in Santa Cruz Saturday night.
Jabriel Grisell, 20, was arrested an hour after he allegedly stabbed two men, ages 22 and 20, at about 8 p.m. following an argument at a party at a home in the 100 block of Felix Street.
One victim suffered multiple stab wounds to his chest, and the second victim was stabbed at least once in the chest. Both were taken to a hospital, and one has since been released. The other remains in stable condition.
Police are working to determine if the stabbing was connected to a homicide an hour earlier Saturday night in which a 24-year-old Live Oak man was shot to death near East Cliff Drive and Jessie Street.
Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the Santa Cruz Police Department’s investigations section at (831) 420-5820.
