According to the Middlesex DA’s Office, the person responsible may have been in the area shortly before the attack happened.

“I just hope that the person who stabbed the other person – that the culprit is caught,” one neighbor told Boston 25 News.

“I saw the many cops on the street, they closed the area,” explained neighbor Oscar Pachola, who also described seeing K-9s canvass the area.

The fatal stabbing is being investigated, “as a suspicious death,” the DA’s office said. Anyone with any information about this fatal stabbing is asked to contact the Waltham Police Detective Division at 781-314-3550.
