Details:
On 11/22/2015 at about 0450 hours Gilroy Police Officers were dispatched to a report of a large in-progress fight in the 400 block of Leavesley Road in Gilroy.
Upon arriving officers found numerous individuals still engaged in the fight. Several people fled on foot as officers approached. Three female victims were located at the scene, all suffering from several stab wounds to their upper bodies. A fourth female stabbing victim was located a short distance away from the initial fight scene. Deputies from the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office as well as officers from the California Highway Patrol assisted in securing the scene and locating parties involved in the fight.
Emergency medical personnel arrived and provided medical aid and prepared the victims for transport to the hospital. All four of the victims sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries as a result of the stabbing. Three victims were treated and later released. The fourth was admitted to the hospital for observation.
Gilroy Police Detectives and Crime Scene Investigators were called out to assume the investigation and process the crime scene. Several individuals were arrested but determined to not be suspects in the stabbing and were subsequently released from custody.
The victims in this case have provided very little information about the stabbing. No suspects or motives have been identified at this time.
There is no evidence at this time to suggest this is a gang related case. This investigation is being led by Detective Eric Cryar. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Detective Cryar at 408-846-0350. Information can be left anonymously.
