A Garden Grove man is facing a charge of attempted murder after he stabbed his roommate at a sober living home on Saturday morning, police said.

“Munguia for unknown reasons, at this time, attacked the victim while he was in his bedroom where they both live,” the release said.

Munguia was tracked to Perris, where his vehicle was found parked in front of a home, police said.

Munguia was booked into the Orange County Jail for attempted murder, police said, though he did not appear in a search of jail records.
