An Oceanside man stabbed to death was found by his two and four year old children's babysitter, police said.
The incident happened at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday near the 1400 block of Santa Rosa Street in Oceanside, when police said suspect David Strouth, in his 40s, stabbed a man.
Police said a babysitter was watching the man’s two children when the incident happened at a residence on the 2800 block of 46th Street. The woman found the father of two covered in blood and the suspect as well.
She rushed across the street for help and neighbors came over, police said. They tried to give the victim CPR but it was too late.
The victim died after suffering several stab wounds, police said. Investigators say the suspect also had several stab wounds, though officials believe they were self-inflicted.
Strouth was airlifted to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Once he recovers, officers plan to arrest him on murder chargers.
The investigation is ongoing.
