DODGE CITY (AP) – A Garden City man is charged with second-degree murder in a fatal stabbing in Dodge City.

The Ford County Attorney’s Office on Monday charged 52-year-old Alfredo Gasca-Aldama with reckless second-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Jesus Ortiz. Gasca-Aldama is being held on $250,000 bond.

Dodge City police say both men were taken to a hospital Saturday night suffering from stab wounds. Ortiz later died. Gasca-Aldama was arrested after being treated for his wounds.

Police have declined to release information on the circumstances surrounding the stabbings.

It was not immediately clear if Gasca-Aldama had an attorney.
