On Sunday January 13, 2019, just after 11pm, officers were called to a stabbing on S. Country Club Pl. Officers found a man who had been stabbed and he was taken to Banner Desert Hospital, where he died.
The victim’s girlfriend said her ex-boyfriend, identified as Isaiah Aguirre, was provoking them by throwing rocks at their car. When the victim got out, she says Aguirre stabbed him in the chest. The suspect took off on foot and was tracked by a Mesa PD K9 officer and his K9, who found the baseball hat and jacket Aguirre’s ex-girlfriend said he was wearing.
Just after 9:30am a Mesa PD Detective saw Aguirre walking near Country Club and Southern. Aguirre was taken into custody and booked at the Mesa Police Department on one count of 2nd degree murder.
Thanks to the work by our K9 officer, K9 and Detective, the suspect was apprehended quickly and without incident.
