PHOENIX — One person is dead after being found with stab wounds outside of a Phoenix QuikTrip convenience store, just days after a deadly shooting at the same location.
The investigation was centered around the store near 27th Avenue and Thomas Road and started around 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Phoenix police say one injured person was found at the scene. The victim, only identified as a man, was taken to a hospital where he later died.
Police searched the area but found no suspects.
Officers and investigators were still at the scene Monday morning with the crime scene blocking access to the store and gas pumps.
A QuikTrip spokesperson sent a statement to ABC15 saying the stabbing happened at another location, but employees and customers attempted to help the injured person.
The full statement reads: “On Sunday night, an individual walked inside the QuikTrip location near 27th Avenue and Thomas Road seeking help for a stab wound suffered somewhere other than store property. While the individual’s injuries were fatal, we are grateful to the QuikTrip employees and customers who immediately provided assistance while waiting for first responders to arrive. As always, we appreciate the swift response of the Phoenix Police Department and are working closely to assist in the investigation of this incident.”
This is the second deadly incident involving this location within three days.
On Friday, a man was shot and killed there during what police believe was a botched robbery attempt. Two men were taken into custody in connection to the shooting.
