They arrived to find the 67-year-old victim had been stabbed in the neck. He told investigators Julian Hill, who lives in the house with him, came out of a bedroom  and began stabbing him before fleeing the scene. Officers found Hill a short distance away and took him into custody.

The man was airlifted to North Memorial Hospital for treatment.
