Sanders said it appears the victim went to see a woman, who has a protective order against him, at an apartment in the 1200 block of Menchaca Street.

They got into an argument. Then, the woman's brother showed up and got into an argument with the victim, which escalated to a stabbing, Sanders said.

At some point, several people were involved in the incident, and it's not clear who stabbed the victim, Sanders said.

Several people were detained, but no arrests were immediately made.

Police are looking into the possibility that someone in a car drove by and fired shots, but no shell casings were immediately found, Sanders said.
