Victims in the hospital:
After the incident, the Pokémon GO player was able to return to his apartment and call for help there.
The victim was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center in critical condition.
In the meantime, however, his state of health has stabilized again.
Motive of the crime unknown:
Unfortunately, the Pokémon GO player could not describe the perpetrators because he could not see them well in the dark.
The San Antonio police are looking for the two fugitives, but so far they have no leads.
In addition, it is not known whether the attack on the Pokémon GO player was planned or whether he is just an accidental victim.
The exact murder weapon is also unknown and has not yet been found.
TikTok star Michelle Melody's boyfriend was also recently stabbed.
However, the perpetrator is known here, because it is probably the TikToker herself.
