STOCKTON (CBS13) – The weekend in Stockton was capped off with violence as a 17-year-old was shot and three people were stabbed in separate incidents, authorities said on Monday.

Investigators said the victim, a 23-year-old man, attempted to help a security guard who was engaged in a struggle with the suspect – identified as Carlos Martinez, 45. Martinez allegedly then stabbed the suspect, resulting in what police said were non-life-threatening injuries.

Martinez was arrested and faces a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.

At around 4 a.m., a 44-year-old woman was stabbed in the area of S. Aurora Street and E. Scotts Avenue. The suspect and victim were arguing when the suspect swung a knife at the victim, striking her in the arm once. The victim is expected to recover.

The suspect was only described as a Hispanic woman in her 20s.

Anyone who may have been a witness to either of these events is encouraged to contact the Stockton Police Department.
