YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A man suspected of a fatal stabbing near a Circle K was in court Friday.

26-year-old Angel Witrado is facing one count of first degree murder after Yuma Police Department (YPD) says he stabbed 37-year-old Justin Arviso outside of the Circle K in the area of 24th Street and Avenue B, at around 11:00pm in early October.

Arviso was taken to Onvida where he later died from his injuries.

Witrado was arrested back in October after he was found in Maricopa County, where he was arrested on an unrelated charge.

Witrado is set to appear again in court in late December.
