US police arrest teen in fatal stabbing of Jordanian man

• US media report arrest of a 17-year-old suspect in the fatal stabbing of Jordanian student Sand Al-Rashq inside a grocery store in the northwestern US.
• The victim, 25-year-old Sand Ahmad Faisal Al-Rashq, was pronounced dead after emergency crews attempted life-saving efforts at the scene.

US media reports say police have arrested a teenager suspected of fatally stabbing a young Jordanian man during a violent altercation inside a grocery store in the northwestern United States.

Authorities identified the victim as 25-year-old Sand Ahmad Faisal Al-Rashq, while court and jail records cited in US reports name the suspect as 17-year-old Samuel Davis, who is currently being held in custody on a $500,000 bail.

Local reporting indicates the stabbing took place shortly after 1:00 a.m. inside the “Classic Mart” store on Medical Drive, near Fairhaven Street.

Police initially responded to reports of a possible shooting in the area. However, upon arrival, officers found a man suffering from multiple stab wounds instead.

Investigators said an argument reportedly broke out between the suspect and Al-Rashq, who worked at the store. The dispute escalated into a physical fight before the teenager allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times, then fled the scene.

Emergency teams attempted to save Al-Rashq for around 20 minutes at the scene. Despite the rapid response, officials said the injuries were too severe, and he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

Local sources described a heavy emergency presence as first responders worked to stabilize the situation.

Hours after the attack, shortly before 8:00 a.m., police carried out a coordinated raid on the “Charles Andrews” apartment complex located opposite the grocery store.

Several individuals were detained during the operation, including the main suspect, Samuel Davis, who was taken in for questioning as part of the ongoing criminal investigation.
