Update: Redmond man arrested in weekend Bend stabbing that sent 2 to hospital
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – A 21-year-old Redmond man turned himself in to Bend police late Thursday afternoon, hours after officers said he was being sought as a suspect in the weekend stabbing of two Bend brothers at a northeast Bend apartment complex that sent both to the hospital, police said.
Lt. Brian Beekman said Eric David Taylor turned himself in around 5:30 p.m. at the Bend Police Department. He was arrested in the stabbing of two Bend residents and will be lodged at the Deschutes County Jail.
A blue Subaru Forester that was mentioned is no longer being sought as part of the investigation, he added.
Earlier, Beekman said Eric David Taylor had been identified as the suspect in the stabbing, which sent two males, ages 23 and 17, to St. Charles Bend with what their father called serious injuries.
It occurred shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday during a fight involving numerous people in the parking lot of the Stonebriar Apartments on Highway 20, he said.
Bend police are still actively investigating the case and are serving search warrants in the Redmond area, assisted by Redmond police and the Central Oregon Emergency Response Team (CERT), the lieutenant added.
While police have not publicly identified the victims, Bend resident Vincent Cegers told NewsChannel 21 they were his two sons, Dahnte Cegers, 23, and Caleb Cegers, 17.
