SAN DIEGO (CNS) — A man was fatally stabbed Friday during a predawn quarrel at a Mira Mesa home.

The violent death in the 11000 block of Mont Blanc Drive, east of Camino Santa Fe, was reported shortly before 3:30 a.m., according to the San Diego Police Department.

A woman brought the 40-year-old victim to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name was withheld pending family notification.

"There was some type of argument at the residence. During that argument, a knife was present and the male suffered a fatal stab wound. It is not clear yet what the exact events were that led up to the male being stabbed."
