Court documents accuse 25-year-old Hector Elias Contreras-Uribe of stabbing multiple people on June 9 at The Ivy Apartments while cooking together.

They got into a physical fight, which resulted in Contreras-Uribe allegedly stabbing the man multiple times. As the brothers tried to break up the fight, the victim’s father also ran to help, leading to Contreras-Uribe allegedly stabbing him in the chest and back.

After his father was stabbed, the victim went to his truck and grabbed a knife, then stabbed Contreras-Uribe in self-defense. Police said after the incident that everyone was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. They also said that all those involved in the incident knew each other.
