TUCSON, Ariz. - Tucson police have now identified the man killed in a midtown stabbing Friday morning, April 6.

Just before 1 a.m., someone driving on 8th Street found the man on the ground and a woman -- later identified as his sister -- nearby, also bleeding.
The woman was hospitalized with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
The man was involved in an altercation behind a nearby apartment complex before the stabbing.
