Fargo Police say they have arrested a suspect in a fatal stabbing in the Minneapolis suburb of Champlin.

Authorities say the Red River Valley SWAT team responded to an apartment building in Fargo on Tuesday morning after receiving a tip and arrested a 44-year-old man, identified as James Nynotah.

Champlin police found 35-year-old Peachu Yates unresponsive in the front yard of a residence about 9:30 p.m. Monday.

Officers and firefighters from the Anoka-Champlin Fire Department attempted life saving efforts but were unsuccessful.

A K-9 team from Brooklyn Park and the Minnesota State Patrol air unit helped law enforcement from several agencies search for the suspect.

Officers found the suspect’s vehicle abandoned in neighboring Brooklyn Park.
