According to deputies, Joshua Navarro, 22, entered a room following an argument and attacked a 66-year-old man with a large, fixed-blade field knife. That’s when, deputies say, the victim ran into the living room and attempted to shield himself with a blanket.
Authorities say Navarro removed the blanket during the assault and stabbed the victim multiple times. An 18-year-old tried to intervene and assist the victim, but Navarro began stabbing the teen as well, deputies said.
Officials say Navarro dropped the knife and the victims were able to push him out of the residence and lock the door. Deputies arrived and arrested Navarro without incident, BCSO said.
The 66-year-old victim and 18-year-old victim were taken to an area hospital in critical condition. Navarro suffered non-life-threatening wounds, deputies said.
Navarro was booked on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Each bond is set at $200,000.
A supervisor at the scene, as well as a preliminary report released by BCSO Wednesday morning, both originally indicated that the suspect was 18-years-old.
However, KSAT 12 News found jail records online showing that a 22-year-old man who lives at the same Misty Plain address where the stabbings happened was arrested on two counts of aggravated assault on a family member. The records show he was taken into custody around the same time as this incident, just before 10 p.m. Tuesday. This story has since been updated to reflect the changes.
