Man dies in Gladstone duplex stabbing

GLADSTONE, Mo. - Authorities have convened a Metro Squad to investigate the murder of a man who died early Tuesday, several hours after he was stabbed inside a Gladstone duplex.

Gladstone Police spokesman Richard King says the unidentified victim was stabbed about 11:40 p.m. Monday in the duplex, at 64th and Wyandotte.

The man’s girlfriend drove him about two miles to a Kansas City fire station at 81st and North Oak, where crews rushed him to an area hospital, King said.

The victim died a little after 4 a.m., according to King.

When officers returned to the duplex, nobody was there.

Metro Squads are formed in when local departments need extra resources to investigate crimes.
