Police said the stabbing happened at Willow Creek Apartments in the 7500 block of Plum Creek Drive at around 11 p.m.

HPD Lt. I. Izaguirre said a family was having a gathering when Velasquez Ruiz, who appeared to be intoxicated, got into an argument with someone after he apparently “made advancements” at a woman.

Velasquez Ruiz left the apartment, and moments later, police said he returned with a knife and stabbed at least three people.

All three victims, 22, 26, and 35, were taken to area hospitals. Two of them were in stable condition while a third was treated and released.
