Police Investigating Stabbing Death of Man in Colgate

Baltimore County Police Department homicide detectives are investigating what appears to be the stabbing death of a man in his early 20s.

Police responded to the 400 block of Scarsdale Road in Colgate at about 6:20 a.m. Aug. 20 for a report of an injured person, according to spokeswoman Elise Armacost.

When they arrived, police officials found the victim, who has not yet been positively identified, dead in the basement of the house.

Detectives are not certain what the victim's relationship is to the other people in the home, according to Armacost. Officers who speak Spanish were called to assist with language issues.

Detectives are investigating a large crime scene that extends about four blocks from the home where the crime occurred, according to Armacost; evidence was dropped throughout the four-block area.
