Man stabbed to death in Stamford

STAMFORD — Police say a 37-year-old Stamford man was stabbed to death on Stillwater Avenue on Sunday night.

At 9:20 p.m. a patrol officer was flagged down by a concerned resident who found the man down on the sidewalk on Stillwater Avenue, just up the hill from Pellicci’s Restaurant.

The man had multiple stab wounds. Stamford fire and medics responded and administered aid to the man, however he was pronounced dead before being brought to the hospital, according to a release from Lt. Tom Scanlon.

The man’s identity is not being made public, pending notification of his next of kin.

When asked where exactly the incident occured, Scanlon declined to answer futher questions.

This is the city’s fourth homicide of the year and comes just two weeks after

Shernetta Dunmore, 35, was killed while celebrating the end of summer in an East Side parking lot.

On Sept. 20, Dunmore joined a group of city residents celebrating the end of summer at Cummings Park. When the park closed, people moved to a parking lot of the Ursula Place Housing Complex just off Cove Road.

Just after midnight, gunfire erupted at the party. Dunmore was shot numerous times. She was rushed to Stamford Hospital, but died from her injuries.

Police are still investigating that incident, as well as Sunday’s stabbing.

On the latest homicide, Scanlon said, “There are a number of investigators looking into this and it is a very active investigation.”

The man’s death is being investigated by the department’s Major Crimes Unit. Anyone with information is asked to call 203-977-4417.
