On September 22, 2022, at 10:52 p.m., Central District General Patrol officers, with the assistance of the K9 Unit, responded to a hotel in the 300 block of Ellice Avenue for a report of a female that had been stabbed.

Upon arrival, officers located a seriously injured 20-year-old female victim. She was subsequently transported to a hospital in stable condition.
