ST PAUL, Minn. — The Saint Paul Police Department is investigating after a 73-year-old man was killed in a stabbing Saturday morning.
According to the SPPD, the incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. on the 1100 block of Bowdoin Street South in the Highland Park neighborhood.
When police arrived on the scene, they found a 59-year-old man detaining the 73-year-old in a home.
