PHOENIX — Two men were arrested Wednesday in connection to a fatal early morning stabbing in Phoenix, authorities said.

Police responded to a call about an injured person after 2 a.m. near 52nd Avenue and Baseline Road and found 27-year-old Leevatoh Keetso on the sidewalk with a stab wound, the Phoenix Police Department said in a press release.

Keetso was taken to a hospital, where he died, police said.

Detectives collected video from a nearby security camera and served a search warrant at a house the victim was seen being carried away from.

Trevion Wright, 19, was booked into Fourth Avenue Jail on three felony counts, including second-degree murder, and is being held on a $1 million bond.

Taylor Gordon, 26, was booked on one count of interfering with the judicial process as he was allegedly seen in the video with Wright carrying the victim away.

We want to hear from you.
