Anchorage police are asking for the public’s help locating 39-year-old Xavier Goodson, wanted in connection with a stabbing that occurred in Mountain View early Saturday morning.
At about 3:45 a.m., the Anchorage Police Department responded to an apartment on the 600 block of N. Lane Street.
Goodson’s two roommates told police he returned home “intoxicated and angry,” according to an APD release.
“Goodson went into the kitchen, picked up a knife, and began to stab roommate #1 near the front door of the apartment,” the release says. “The two fell onto the couch where roommate #2 was sitting. The two roommates were able to wrestle the knife away from Goodson.”
When one of the roommates called the police, Goodson fled the apartment on foot. APD’s immediate search efforts for Goodson were unsuccessful.
An arrest warrant has been issued for two felony counts of second-degree assault.
Police say both roommates will be OK. One was transported to the hospital with two non-life-threatening stab wounds to the shoulder.
Anyone with information on Goodson’s whereabouts is asked to call APD at 786-8900. Anonymous tips are accepted through Crime Stoppers at 561-STOP or online at AnchorageCrimeStoppers.com.
