MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) - Officers haven’t made any arrests in a fatal stabbing in Missoula after the suspect made a self-defense claim, Missoula police said.
Benjamin Mousso, 18, of the Hamilton area died late Wednesday after being stabbed several times near a restaurant close to the Southgate Mall in Missoula, the Missoula County sheriff’s office said Friday.
All the involved parties have been interviewed, police said Thursday.
“No arrests have been made due to our statutory obligation to investigate claims of self-defense, as alleged in this case,” police spokesman Sgt. Travis Welsh said in a statement.
The investigation continues and police will turn over their findings to the county attorney’s office to determine whether any charges will be filed.
