On the scene, they found 41-year-old Martin Gross Jr. of Northwest with multiple stab wounds. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Police detained the suspect in the stabbing, 49-year-old Wali Shabazz of Southwest D.C., nearby the scene. Shabazz has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder while armed.
