Police say no charges have been filed after a man was fatally stabbed outside a sushi restaurant in St. Petersburg on Friday.
Officers responded to Ahi Sushi shortly before 6 p.m. and found 41-year-old Dustin Hedenberg suffering from a stab wound.
Police say that while investigating, they discovered Hedenberg was behaving erratically and punched someone at the nearby Scientology Center before the stabbing occurred.
He then went to Ahi Sushi, where he got into a “heated confrontation” with restaurant owner Fayun Zhang, 51, detectives said.
Hedenberg knocked Zhang down and began punching him, and Zhang then grabbed a screwdriver and stabbed Hedenberg.
Hedenberg was transported to Bayfront Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
St. Pete police said Zhang has not been charged as detectives investigate whether the incident was self-defense.
