People shouted that there was little anyone could do to save the victim as they waited for medical teams to arrive and attempt to provide aid. The atmosphere was charged with shock and sadness as the neighborhood processed the event.
According to sources close to the inquiry, the fatal stab occurred in the street, and the seriously injured individual managed to reach the interior of a nearby home before being carried back outside.
