Two Injured in Isla Vista Stabbing Sunday Night

The Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Bureau is looking into an alleged stabbing incident in Isla Vista late Sunday night, in which at least one male suspect was involved in an “heated” altercation with another group, pulled a knife and stabbed two male victims, according to a statement by Sheriff’s spokesperson Jarrett Morris.

Morris said the incident occurred shortly after midnight on the sidewalk outside of a party on Sueno Road in Isla Vista. When Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the scene, they learned that the two male victims were walking away from the party when one “bumped into an unknown male subject” accompanied by another male and two females.

A “heated confrontation ensued,” Morris said, followed by a physical altercation among the males. During the fight, “one of the unknown male subjects pulled out a knife and stabbed both victims.”
