A man trying to rescue a neighbor from a violent assault in a Westminster apartment complex was stabbed to death early Saturday morning, authorities said. Alvaro Martin-Perez, 48, was trying to intervene in a dispute between roommates when he was fatally stabbed, according to Westminster Police Sgt. Jerad Kent. “Mr. Perez’s actions were nothing less than heroic,” Westminster Police Chief Darin Lenyi said in a statement. “Tragically, his efforts to protect his neighbor cost him his life.
“The investigation revealed that there had been an argument between Saquic-Saquic and one of his roommates, which escalated into a physical altercation,' Kent said. Saquic-Saquic is suspected of stabbing his roommate multiple times with a knife, Kent said. During the altercation Kent said that Martin-Perez “attempted to help the victim outside of the apartment and was stabbed repeatedly.' Other neighbors were able to disarm the suspect and hold him down until officers arrived, Kent said.
