The Port St. Lucie Police Department is investigating a stabbing. The police department said 60-year-old Jose Perez Perez was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
The police department said it responded early Monday to St. Lucie Medical Center because a victim had arrived at the hospital to a stab wound to his chest.
The police department’s initial investigation revealed that P P and the victim engaged in an argument at the residence on the 2200 block of SE Longhorn Avenue. When officers arrived at the home, they discovered PP, the brother-in-law of the victim, in a bedroom with a kitchen knife still in his chest.
PP was transported to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital by the St. Lucie County Fire District. Detectives were able to determine that the victim had a discussion with Perez over land that was owned by the victim in their home country of Guatemala.
According to the police department, P asked for a piece of the land and an argument began. PP armed himself with a knife and stabbed the victim. The victim was able to disarm PP and stab P with the knife.
According to the police department, the victim went to another family member at the home and had them transport him to the hospital.
