A 21-year-old man died from stab wounds in Sevilla on Sunday morning, in the Santa Clara district, according to Emergency 112 authorities cited by El Correo de Andalucía. The incident drew swift responses from local police, national police, and medical services who arrived at the scene but could only confirm the young man’s death.
The events occurred around 7:55 a.m. when multiple 112 calls reported a young man lying on the ground not breathing. Responders from the Local Police, the National Police, and medical teams were deployed immediately to the location. Despite their efforts, the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Initial investigations indicate that the young man’s death resulted from a violent assault involving several stab wounds. By around 11:00 a.m., all police tape had been removed, and the police and emergency personnel had left the area, concluding the initial response to the incident.
Increase in violence in the area
Neighbors in the district where the events occurred have voiced concerns about a rise in violence. They report worry for the safety of their children, noting that individuals from other neighborhoods appear to come into the district, commit assaults against minors, and invade public spaces used for recreation, often forcing locals to leave. Residents are calling for greater vigilance and have scheduled a meeting to discuss security measures and, if necessary, to mobilize public action in response to these concerns.
