(La Porte, IN) - A man is being held on a preliminary charge of murder in connection with a fatal stabbing in La Porte.

 

Francisco Camarillo, 29, was taken into custody Monday during a lengthy high speed pursuit from La Porte County into St. Joseph County.

 

The chase ended in the North Liberty area.

 

So far, police have not released full details but say a man was found stabbed yesterday morning in the 200 block of Lawndale Ave. on the city’s southeast side and soon died at Northwest Health.

 

Formal charges could be filed as soon as today if La Porte Circuit Court Judge Tom Alevizos after reviewing the evidence finds the evidence is sufficient enough for Camarillo to answer to the allegations.

 

The name of the victim has not been released yet.
