The MPs reacted to the scene directly on State Road 17 and Martin Luther King Jr. Street, where they found a person who had been stabbed. The victim was declared dead at the crime scene. Almost two dozen evidence markers were set up in a property with a parked bus. The location is located next to a busy flea market where another murder occurred a little more than a year ago.
