Kevin Dodson died of multiple sharp force injuries, the coroner’s office said. His death was ruled a homicide.

Arriving officers Dodson suffering from a stab wound, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson said. He was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
