The victim told police it was a random attack and he didn't know who attacked him, the report said. He was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center with life-threatening injuries and had to undergo surgery for a stab wound to the lower back portion of his head. Officers at the scene found a trail of blood that led them to a knife blade cover in a front yard and blood in front of an apartment at 128 W. 7th Street as well as blood on the front door handle, the report said. The officers knocked on the door and Diaz Gonzalez answered. He had blood on his ear and spontaneously said he'd been attacked first, the report said.
