Shelter in place lifted at UC Davis but stabbing suspect still at large
A shelter in place was lifted Tuesday morning at UC Davis following a nonfatal stabbing overnight of a homeless woman in the city of Davis, but the suspect remains at large, campus officials said.
The stabbing was the third in Davis in less than a week. A student at UC Davis was killed in a stabbing that occurred Saturday evening, which was the second. The first occurred Thursday at Central Park in the city’s downtown.
The latest stabbing occurred overnight Monday and resulted in a shelter-in-place alert that was issued for the UC Davis campus. Police had also ordered residents in downtown Davis to shelter in place. Those orders were lifted around 5 a.m. Tuesday.
“Officers have concluded their detailed search of the downtown Davis area and were not able to locate the suspect,” the Davis Police Department said, according to The Sacramento Bee. “Officers will continue to heavily patrol the area.”
The latest incident shook the city following two fatal stabbings in three days, last Thursday and Saturday at Davis parks. The Davis Police Department reported only one homicide death for all of 2022.
