Detectives have identified a suspect in the stabbing death of a 20-year-old man in Bellingham, reported KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.

David L. Datskiy of Mount Vernon was fatally stabbed in the abdomen on Sunday while standing on the side of James Street after pulling his Honda off of the road.

A warrant for second-degree homicide was issued Wednesday for the arrest of Derek Cameron Collier.

Police said Collier was driving a white Cadillac when he pulled over, approached Datskiy and stabbed the victim without provocation.

Authorities said a woman with very short hair was a passenger in Collier's vehicle the day of the stabbing.
