Bridgeport Police is asking the public for help locating Ricardo Garcia, age 41, of Bridgeport, who they say is responsible for the stabbing death of a man around 3:30 a.m., Tuesday, July 20 on Whitney Avenue.
When officers arrived, they found the victim, a 61-year-old man (name withheld until a notation is made to the family), dead from multiple stab wounds, said Scott Appleby, director of Emergency Management.
According to a witness, the victim was stabbed by Garcia, an alleged undocumented immigrant from El Salvador, who then fled the scene in a red 2010 Nissan Pathfinder, bearing Connecticut registration AW74910.
