Deputies received a disturbance call at the Circle K in the 15800 block of Mojave Drive just after 4 a.m., according to a news release from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office.
Victorville resident Elijah Griego, 25, was unresponsive when deputies found him on the ground outside the store with multiple stab wounds.
Griego was given CPR and transported to a local hospital, where he later died, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
Investigators determined a store clerk, identified as 25-year-old Jeremy Fearon, had been in a physical altercation with Griego when the stabbing occurred.
