Police Arrest 3 Suspects In Connection With Fatal Stabbing At Sacramento Apartment

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - A police investigation has resulted in the arrest of three people accused in connection with the stabbing death of a Sacramento man earlier this month.

On the night of December 14, police were called out to apartments in the 2600 block of Rio Linda Boulevard and found the victim, 55-year-old Carlos Rios, with stab wounds to his upper body. Paramedics took Rios to the hospital to receive emergency life-saving treatment, but he died, according to a Sacramento Police Department statement.

Witnesses back at the scene of the stabbing told homicide detectives investigating the case that, just before Rios was stabbed, Rios was involved in a confrontation with several men.

Detectives identified Kenneth Hopkins, Benigno Duran, and Jeremy Rosales as primary suspects in the case and, last week, arrested all three.

The Sacramento Police Department urges anyone with information about this incident to contact Crime Alert at (916) 443-HELP (4357) or text in a tip to 274637 (CRIMES). Enter SACTIP followed by the tip information. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
