A 44-year-old man died after San Antonio Police Department says he was cut in the neck by his friend Friday afternoon.

“They knew each other. They were supposedly friends and we still don’t know what happened...," said an SAPD officer at the scene.

The cutting happened on West Harlan Avenue around 2 p.m.

Police say an argument ensued between the suspect, a 31-year-old man, and the victim.

The man’s sister was with him at the time of the cutting and told police she turned away from him. When she turned back around, she said she saw her brother had been cut and was on the floor, bleeding profusely.
