New Haven police are actively searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a fatal stabbing that occurred Wednesday afternoon. The incident took place in the area of Elm and Temple streets at approximately 2:58 p.m. Authorities report that the stabbing stemmed from an argument that began inside a library and was subsequently taken outside. A 37-year-old New Haven man died from his injuries as a result of this attack. Police have released photographs of the suspect and stated that he was last seen running on the green toward the intersection of College and Chapel Street, with investigators believing he may be heading toward the Hill neighborhood. This case is separate from another stabbing that occurred nearly an hour later on Orange Street at 3:26 p.m. In that incident, which stemmed from a domestic dispute, an adult woman also died from her wounds. However, a suspect in the Orange Street case is already in custody, and charges are pending. The New Haven Police Department initially reported that neither injury appeared life-threatening, but later confirmed that both victims had succumbed to their injuries by Wednesday evening. The department is urging the public to remain vigilant and to report any information regarding the location of the suspect in the Elm and Temple Street stabbing. Investigators continue to canvass the area and review evidence to locate the individual responsible for the fatal attack. The community is being advised to exercise caution and to contact authorities with any tips that may assist in the ongoing manhunt. The investigation remains active as police work to bring the suspect into custody.
