Heated Argument Leads to Apartment Courtyard Stabbing

A heated argument led to a stabbing of a young man in the courtyard of a Glendora apartment complex Saturday night.

Police responded at 10 p.m. to the apartments in the 600 block of E. Claraday Street. Officers saw blood on the sidewalk and after a 10-minute search found the victim toward the back of the apartments.

They also found the suspect identified as Shea Holland, 26, of Glendora and arrested him on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Police recovered a knife thought to be used in the stabbing.

The suspect was held in Glendora jail with bail set at $50,000.

As of Sunday night, the suspect had not posted bail. His arraignment will be on Monday or Tuesday, said Glendora Police Sgt. Jamie Caldwell.

The victim was transported by ambulance to Foothill Presbyterian Hospital where he was treated and released. He sustained stab wounds to his back and leg.

Caldwell said some friends gathered at the apartment complex and when a discussion became heated, a fight broke out.

“There were words exchanged,” Caldwell said.
