Fergus Falls, MN – Court documents have revealed more details about the domestic stabbing that happened in Fergus Falls late Saturday night, including the identity of the arrested suspect.
22-year-old Alexander Benjamin Sian-Gonzalez has been accused of stabbing his brother-in-law with a pair of scissors, nearly killing him.
Officers say they were called to the home on South Sheridan Street for a reported stabbing. Court documents say movement was seen in the detached garage, and when officers knocked, they were met by Sian-Gonzalez. He was unsteady on his feet and appeared to police to be intoxicated. The criminal complaint says Sian-Gonzalez was immediately arrested.
Officers then went to the house and made contact with another male resident, who had blood on his shirt, pants, and hands. He led officers to the victim, who was motionless on the floor and appeared to have multiple stab wounds in his back. Officers administered aid until Ringdahl Ambulance arrived and brought the victim to Lake Region Hospital. He was later transferred to Sanford Hospital in Fargo.
The housemate told officers that Sian-Gonzalez had both a knife and a pair of scissors that he’d been “winging around” and at one point, began stabbing the wall. The witness said the brother-in-law had a conversation with the suspect, but when he turned around, Sian-Gonzalez stabbed him in the back. Sian-Gonzalez told officers that he and the victim has gotten into a “struggle” and that he was only protecting himself.
Officers later met with the brother-in-law, who said Sian-Gonzalez had been drunk and he was trying to put him to bed after Sian-Gonzalez had tried to start a fight with their housemate. The victim said that when he turned around, Sian-Gonzalez stabbed him with a pair of scissors used for cutting hair.
The doctor that had treated the victim at Lake Region told police that he had two stab wounds that caused hemothorax, bleeding between his ribs and lungs. Court documents say the doctor indicated that if it wasn’t for medical intervention, the man would have died from the severity of his injuries.
Sian-Gonzalez has been charged with attempted 2nd degree murder, 1st degree assault, 2nd degree assault, and domestic assault. He makes his first court appearance this morning.
