Christian Fonseca reportedly arrived at his ex-girlfriend’s residence on St. Pierre Lane in Laredo at around 1:48 a.m. on Friday. Cops say Fonseca began attacking the hood of his ex’s new boyfriend’s car, prompting the boyfriend to step outside and confront the 20-year-old.
The altercation escalated quickly, with Fonseca allegedly attempting to barge into the house to reach his ex-girlfriend. The two men then began scuffling, and during the fight, Fonseca allegedly stabbed the new boyfriend. Authorities say the victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the attack.
Police Arrest Suspect After Violent Outburst
After the stabbing, police were called to the scene by the ex-girlfriend, who reported the incident. Fonseca was found several houses away from the scene and arrested.
