Police in Kenner are looking for a man they believe stabbed another man to death earlier this week.
A police report released today, says Jose Manuel Mejia-Majona may have fled to Houston after killing Jose Murcia-Perez.
Police say several of the workers were drinking heavily and playing cards when Murcia-Perez and Mejia-Majona began fighting near the kitchen area of the warehouse. They say security cameras show Mejia-Majona arming himself with a kitchen knife and then stabbing Murcia-Perez in the chest.
“Upon arrival officers found Jose Murcia-Perez, 61, Honduras, in a work van, bleeding profusely from the chest,” said a Kenner Police report. “Witnesses advised that Murcia-Perez was involved in a fight at a warehouse located in the 2800 block of Tifton Street, Kenner. After being stabbed, the witnesses placed Murcia-Perez in the van to transport him to the hospital but realized he was in critical condition so they stopped and summoned an ambulance. Murcia-Perez was transported to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.”
