McLean Police District — A man is facing a homicide charge after a stabbing in the 2900 block of Charing Cross Road. We initially responded just before one this morning, and officers arriving on scene found the suspect outside the apartment building. 36-year-old Jose Adalberto Vasquez Hernandez was taken into custody.

Officers found 27-year-old Oscar Daniel Diaz Fuentes inside the apartment, he had been stabbed in the torso. Officers rendered aid and he was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Hernandez and Fuentes both lived in the apartment with five other adults and two children. Hernandez is the boyfriend of Fuentes’ mother. A preliminary investigation shows the two had some sort of altercation earlier in the night. Hernandez later returned and stabbed Fuentes. It’s still early in the investigation, and detectives from our Major Crimes Bureau and Crime Scene Section continue to process the scene and interview the involved parties.
