A man was fatally stabbed in the neck Tuesday evening in downtown Dallas, police said.

Leonard Rose

The stabbing occurred about 5:20 p.m. in the 300 block of North Ervay Street, outside the Gables Republic Tower, Senior Cpl. Melinda Gutierrez said.

According to an arrest-warrant affidavit, Leonard Rose, 44, stabbed 34-year-old Anthony Bailes after Bailes had beat him up.

A witness told police that Rose, who is homeless, was sitting on a bus bench when Bailes walked up and threw him on the ground, landing blows to his face and at one point stomping on him.

At that point, the witness said Bailes walked away and Rose got up to follow him.

Rose admitted to police that he followed Bailes, then Bailes spotted him and started yelling at him. Bailes then came at Rose again, and Rose said he pulled out his knife and started swinging.

Rose said he got on top of Bailes and stabbed him some more after he fell to the ground, the affidavit says.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found Bailes suffering from stab wounds. He was taken to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, where he died, Gutierrez said.

Rose has been charged with murder and was jailed in lieu of $500,000 bail.

Bailes was found guilty last year of choking a doctor at Parkland Memorial Hospital.
