When officers arrived, they found the victim critically injured, with a stab wound to the stomach. Police said he was flown to the hospital.

Police said they have no reason to believe the victim, and the person of interest know each other.

"We have no motive at this time, so all we know is that the suspect arrived on scene, approached the male a stabbed him in the upper torso. We don't have any reason to believe that there was a previous relationship that motivated the incident," Pasadena Police Department Officer Slack said.
