Man found dead inside parked car in Anaheim; 1 person detained
Authorities on Sunday detained one person in connection with the death of a man inside a parked car in Anaheim.
Officers responded to the 1500 block of W. Ball Road following a report of screaming heard from the car. The call was placed just before 8:40 a.m.
When officers arrived, they located one man and detained him without incident. A second man was found inside the car and had died from several stab wounds.
On Monday, authorities identified the suspect as 24-year-old Anaheim resident Jorge Escamilla and the victim as 34-year-old Anaheim resident Amado Francisco Lopez-Martinez.
Police said there is no search for additional suspects.
They were able to obtain the knife used in the stabbing, and Escamilla was being held on $1 million bail.
Ball Road between Loara and Gilbuck streets was closed through Sunday as the investigation continued.
Detectives have yet to disclose the relationship between the two parties, or a motive for the stabbing.
