Dad Fatally Stabbed While Visiting Children

POSTED: Tuesday, May 13, 2008
UPDATED: 10:59 am CDT May 13, 2008

A man was fatally stabbed when he went to visit his children at a west Houston apartment complex on Monday, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Houston police said Miguel Flores, 42, died at the Whittfield Apartments on Whittington Drive near Dairy Ashford Street at about 9 p.m.

Flores did not immediately ask for help after he was stabbed, detectives said.

"It appears that he walked around the complex for a while," Sgt. John Shirley said. "Apparently he had been stabbed for a while before he actually collapsed."

Investigators said Flores wandered down a sidewalk and walked up a flight of stairs before he fell to his knees and died.

He suffered stab wounds to his chest, detectives said.

Police said their investigation has been challenging because of a lack of eyewitnesses to the stabbing. Detectives said they have several theories, but they do not know the motive for the killing or any suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Houston Police Department Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
