WALKER, Mich. — The Walker Police Department said a 33-year-old woman was stabbed multiple times at an apartment complex Tuesday afternoon.
The alleged suspect and the victim knew each other, and may have lived together, the Walker Police Chief Keith Mankel said.
Around 12:45 p.m., someone called police to the Apple Ridge Apartments.
That's where first responders found a woman unconscious, suffering from multiple stab wounds. Medical crews rushed her to a local hospital in serious condition.
The woman underwent surgery and is stable at the moment, the chief said.
A tactical team of law enforcement surrounded the complex, thinking the suspect could still be inside the apartment due to witness statements. Police believed the suspect was inside with the victim's young daughter, but that information proved to be false.
After using a drone to make an entry, police discovered no one was inside.
One of the apartment buildings was evacuated, and Cummings Elementary School nearby was put on lockdown as a precaution, the chief said.
A majority of police have left the complex to make room for crime scene investigators to take over.
Residents are now able to return to their apartments. The investigation is ongoing while the suspect is still on the loose.
