Tustin police are investigating a fatal stabbing and hit-and-run causing severe injury that occurred at the same location in the early morning hours of Monday.
At about 12:15 a.m., officers responded to the Arbor Ranch Apartments, 15482 Pasadena Ave., for reports of a vehicle striking a pedestrian and a stabbing, the Tustin Police Department said in a news release.
Upon arrival, officers located a man and a woman on nearby Nisson Road after he had been stabbed and she had been hit by a car that fled.
The man later succumbed to his wounds at a local hospital, though the woman “is currently in stable condition and communicating but has significant injuries,” police said.
About two hours after the incident, police arrested 18-year-old Jan Daniel Lopez of Santa Ana while he was driving in the 1200 block of North Kramer Avenue.
Police identified Lopez as a suspect, but they did not specify if he is accused of perpetuating the hit-and-run, the stabbing or both. He did not appear in a search of jail records.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Schultz at 714-573-3200.
