He died at the scene from stab wounds.  Police immediately began a search for the suspect. Seely says at about that time a neighbor alerted police that a man was in her backyard in a nearby home. Police found the 44-year-old suspect in a backyard of the home and placed him under arrest. The man was taken to Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital for treatment of cuts but reportedly started fighting with hospital staff so police say he was sedated.
