MILFORD, Del. - A Virginia man is facing murder and related charges in connection with the weekend stabbing of a man in Milford.
Milford police said that at around 11 a.m. Saturday, officers were called to a home on the 200 block of North Rehoboth Boulevard for a report of a serious assault that occurred.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found a 43-year-old man suffering from a stab wound to the chest. Responding officers immediately began to provide life-saving measures until EMS staff arrived to continue the efforts and provide transport to the Bayhealth Sussex Campus. The victim eventually succumbed to his injury.
