Police Investigating Fatal Stabbing in Arlington Neighborhood

ARLINGTON (WBAP/KLIF) – The Arlington Police Department is investigating a deadly stabbing.

According to APD, officers responded to a call Wednesday night on S. Collins Street involving a husband and wife who were out for a neighborhood walk. As the couple walked southbound on S. Collins Street from Southeast Parkway, the wife reported her husband, identified as 44-year old Islam Duly, was pushed down to the ground. The wife also reported that she was punched and stabbed several times. She reported the suspect then approached her husband and demanded personal property and stabbed him again several times before fleeing on foot. He later died.

Police said Thursday that the suspect is a skinny build black male, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a facial mask that partially covered the front of his face.
“We are really needing the public’s help on this case to bring the person on persons responsible to justice,” said Interim Police Chief Kevin Kolbye. “Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by these acts of violence.”
Police believe the same suspect may have been involved in a nearby hit and run than injured a woman and killed her dog.

Detectives are asking all residents in the area from S. Collins Street, Southeast Parkway and Rising Meadows Drive to check their consumer video systems to see if they captured the fleeing vehicle. Investigators believe that the suspect fled in an unknown vehicle westbound on Southeast Parkway from S. Collins Street after the initial robbery and stabbing incident. As the car turned northbound onto Rising Meadows, the woman and her dog were ran over and struck.

Anyone with information on the crime is asked to contact Police.
