According to a social media post from the Larned Police Department, the KBI responded last Friday evening to assist the Police Department with an investigation into a stabbing.
At approximately 5:35 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4, officers from the Larned Police Department, Pawnee County Sheriff’s Office and Kansas Highway Patrol responded to a 911 call reporting a stabbing at a residence at 317 W. 3rd Street in Larned.
When officers arrived, they discovered a 40-year-old female outside of the home suffering from a stab wound. They also discovered a 48-year-old male, later identified as Guillermo Rodriguez Veliz, injured from what is believed to be a self-inflicted laceration to his neck. Veliz lived at the residence.
Both Veliz and the injured female were transported to a local hospital for treatment. The female victim was flown to a Wichita hospital for further treatment of her injuries. She is currently in stable condition and is expected to survive.
After treatment, Veliz was released from the hospital and then arrested for attempted murder. He is being held in the Pawnee County Jail. Formal charges are pending.
The investigation is ongoing.
