Upon arrival, it was determined that a male subject sustained a single stab puncture wound to the abdomen and was transported to a local medical facility for treatment of a non-life threatening puncture wound injury.
The suspect, who was known to the victim, was identified as being Dustin Lee Saylor, dob 10-31-1989, LKA 9806 Gulfstrean Blvd., Englewood, FL. Saylor had fled the scene prior to the initial arrival of deputies. The Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Unit was contacted and assumed the case.
