Virginia man charged with murder following weekend stabbing in Milford

MILFORD, Del. – A Virginia man has been arrested after police say he stabbed a man over the weekend.

At around 11 a.m. Saturday, officers responded to a residence in the 200 block of North Rehoboth Boulevard for a report of a serious assault. Officers made contact with a 43-year-old male suffering from a stab wound to the chest and immediately began live saving measures until EMS staff arrived to continue the efforts and transport him to the Bayhealth Sussex Campus. The victim later died as a result of his injuries.

Police say 46-year-old Sanabra O. Garcia, AKA Rodrigo Lopez-Garcia of Sterling, Virginia, was located on scene and identified as the suspect. Garcia was subsequently arrested and charged with first degree murder and possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony.

He is currently being held on a $550,000 cash only bail and is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing later this month.
