Paramedics were able to stabilize the victim and rushed him to hospital in critical condition.

He died from his injuries Tuesday.

The victim was identified as 30-year-old Stephen Scott.

Investigators believe that Scott had been hanging out with friends and left the apartment briefly with another man. That’s when they say the altercation occurred.
