Spokane police say they’ve made an arrest in a deadly stabbing that happened overnight in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven at 2nd Avenue and Division Street.

According to police, a man died in the parking lot of 177 S. Division Street just after 2:30 this morning. Officers were in the area on an unrelated call and became aware of a large group gathered in that parking lot and about a possible fight.

Officers were on scene within minutes to find the group had scattered and a man had been stabbed. Officers performed CPR and requested medics. The man died at the scene. He has not yet been identified.

Witnesses were interviewed and area surveillance video was collected to identify a suspect. Andre A. Conway, 29, was determined to be the suspect. He was found near Sprague Avenue and Browne Street around 12:30pm this afternoon by patrol officers.

Conway was taken into custody and booked into the Spokane County Jail for Murder 1st Degree. Conway will have a first appearance in court tomorrow.

The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office helped police with the investigation by using a 3D digital scan and aerial drone recording of the crime scene.
