***UPDATE 7-27-2015***The detective assigned is continuing to gather and review information.  This investigation involved many officers and over twenty people who provide varying accounts of the incidents from differing perspectives.  More investigation into what happened on Springfield has led the investigators to believe that people related to the man arrested after the stabbing drove by the home on Springfield in multiple cars.  They stopped and two or more got out of the cars, ran into the yard, and assaulted two adult brothers of the resident of the home.  He is related to a juvenile involved.  During the fight in the yard, two men got to the front door, causing someone inside to close the door due to fear that the men were forcing their way in.  There were several people, including children, present.  The resident armed himself with a handgun and went out into the yard, where his brothers were being assaulted.  He told investigators that he fired two shots in their defense.  One man, HM, sustained a bullet wound in the back.  The other, a WM, sustained a bullet wound on the back of the upper arm and shoulder area.  Both were hospitalized as described in the original release.  No more recent condition information is available.  At this point they are regarded as suspects in an assault.  Their names cannot be released unless charges are filed.  The home owner’s brothers did not sustain serious injury.  The home owner was interviewed and released pending investigation.  Upon completion, this case will be referred to the District Attorney’s Office.  Officers retained the .380 caliber handgun used in the incident as evidence.

ORIGINALLY POSTED FOR NIXLE SUBSCRIBERS YESTERDAY:

On 7-25-15, at about 3:26 PM, officers were sent to the 3400 Knoll, City View Elementary School, on a large fight.  Dispatch advised officers that 20-30 people were fighting.  While officers were responding, the victim, a HM juvenile, was stabbed and someone at the scene drove him to the hospital.  Witnesses still on the scene told officers that they saw two Hispanic males fighting and a large number of people around them, apparently watching and cheering.  The witnesses called 911.  One of the people that appeared to be watching then ran out from the group and fell to the ground, clutching his back and saying he’d been stabbed.  Officers learned that the suspect, a HM with a shaved head, had left the area in a black pickup.   While officers were investigating the event, a man matching the description of the suspect returned to the scene in another vehicle.  Officers recognized him as the suspect and arrested Ruben Isreal Sanchez HM 31.  He was later booked into the Randall County Jail for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.  The victim suffered one stab wound in the upper back.  The injury is not life-threatening.  Officers learned that the incident was part of a dispute that had happened earlier this week at a high school.  Investigators said that two juveniles involved had agreed to meet at the school parking lot to fight.
