A trail of blood led cops to a dead man, California police said.

A 911 caller told officers there was blood in the hallway of a home where several people live on May 6, according to a post on X by the Los Angeles Police Department.

When officers arrived, they found the man, later identified as 36-year-old Christopher Wilson, had been stabbed multiple times, police said.

Paramedics arrived, but Wilson was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Officers didn’t specify if Wilson lived in the area.

The investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to call 818-374-9550, officers said.
