Homicide investigators are asking for the public’s help in finding a man they say is a suspect in a fatal stabbing in Apple Valley early Sunday morning.
About 3:12 a.m. Sunday, police were called to the intersection of Pennock Avenue and 138th Street on reports of a man on the sidewalk, the Apple Valley Police Department said in a news release. When they arrived, they found the man was covered in blood with multiple stab wounds. Despite lifesaving measures, the man was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
On Tuesday, police named a suspect in that killing. They are asking for help in locating 20-year-old Aron Isait Medina Rojas. He goes by the name Medina Rojas, drives a 2018 gray Chrysler 300 with the Minnesota license plate number JPU 845, and might be trying to escape authorities by fleeing to Mexico.
Authorities say that anyone who sees Medina Rojas should call 911. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Apple Valley Police Department at 952-322-2323.
The Hennepin County medical examiner’s office will release the identity of the victim at a later date.
