Hood is charged with murder.
Officers were called to do a welfare check at Bob's apartment after family had not heard from him following a meeting with who they described as a suspicious person earlier that day.
When police arrived to the apartment, they found the victim dead with multiple stab wounds, officials said.
According to authorities, Bob was visiting with family that morning when he abruptly left the gathering and went to meet someone at another location.
At the time, no description of that person was given.
