The Denver Police Department on Sunday arrested a suspect for fatally stabbing a young man with a sword in south Denver, according to the probable cause affidavit.

In a statement, police said the stabbing took place around 10:57 a.m. at the corner of Lipan Street and Evans Avenue. At the scene, a 20-year-old victim was transported to the hospital, where he later died of his injuries, according to police.

Police said they arrested suspect Patrick Browne, 39, on first-degree murder and felony menacing charges.

The probable cause statement said Browne engaged in a verbal altercation with the victim and a passenger while they were stopped at the Lipan and Evans intersection. There, Browne tossed a drink bottle through the front passenger window, hit the passenger, and splashed in the victim’s car, the affidavit said.

The victim and passenger pulled over and got out of the car. In the probable cause statement, Browne told officers that he then pulled a 2- to 3-foot sword out of rolling suitcase.

The witness in the affidavit, who was the passenger of the victim’s vehicle, said Browne walked closer to them and stabbed the victim as he was trying to get back into the car.

After sustaining injuries, the victim attempted to drive off before the passenger called 911, according to the affidavit.

Police said the victim was pronounced dead in the hospital at 12:29 p.m.
