6:49 am
what's the very latest on the investigation? >> chief suhr: the suspect has been booked, 21-year-old michael montgomery. and he sits in jail right now awaiting formal charging from the district attorney. >> okay. let's go back a little bit. he is claiming self-defense. at least that's what his father relates to the news. >> okay. >> okay. is that what he told the cops as far as you know? >> well, i can't get into what conversation was in the investigation. but everybody that commits a crime usually has a rationale. >> this is after the ballgame. how close was it to -- were they coming or going from the ballgame or what? >> so one party the dodger group. mr. denver's group had been at the game. the game had been over and they had spend an hour and a half in a local pub. >> so they were away from the
6:50 am
game at a bar and walked six blocks and got into a series of fights. with the same group. they got into two fights with the same group. >> so this was an ongoing thing this went down 3rd street. >> it didn't go far down 3rd street. they traveled quite a distance from the park. almost to harrison street to one of the alleys on the freeway stillman. the group from the nightclub at 3rd and harrison not at the game they get the back and forth between giants and the dodgers because one of the kids in the nightclub was wearing a giants hat. >> how many people do you think in total were involved in this? >> we believe that it was four coming from the nightclub and three that were in the victim's group. >> did everybody run? or did everybody hang around and the police show up? >> once the victim stood up and realized he had been stabbed, the group scattered.
6:51 am
obviously, the victim's family supported him and medical aid was called and the suspects left the scene. >> reporter: how did you catch everybody? >> well, again, we stay in the area quite a bit after the ballgame. officers are regularly deployed and caught them a block and a half away. >> reporter: how did you have them down at the station? he confessed, i understand. >> yeah. we do have an admission. i mean, they -- they had him down there interviewing him quite a long time. >> reporter: how long? >> you know, i don't know at what point in time the admission came. but they interviewed him long enough. >> reporter: this seems to be we're seeing a lot more of this violence whether it's 49ers games or whether it's giants games. >> well, i tell ya, i don't think it's fair to the giants to put this at the ballpark or even really near the ballpark. i think that we have the jumbo rivalry package for police and
6:52 am
the giants out there. everybody is just saddened and appalled that this even happened. it's a game. nobody should ever go to a game. and whether they are six blocks away or 60 feet away, nobody should worry about anything whether it's 10 minutes or two hours after the game. >> that's not the way this society is going these days. >> it's very sad. >> okay. back to you guys. >> phil matier, chief suhr, thank you. coming up on kpix 5, we are continuing to follow the story on the stabbing of a dodgers fan near at that particular time park this morning. we are learning the suspect father says this was in self- defense. ,,,,,,,,
