Authorities in Massachusetts are investigating the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old boy.

A spokesman for the Bristol district attorney says Fall River police responded to a 911 call about a stabbing during an altercation at about 11:55 p.m. Wednesday.

Police have a suspect in mind, said District Attorney Thomas Quinn.

“There’s an indication they were living in the same home together but beyond that, police are actively looking for a suspect,” Quinn told reporters late Thursday morning.

First responders found 17-year-old William Wheeler lying on the floor of an apartment suffering from an apparent stab wound. He was taken to St. Anne’s Hospital where he was declared dead just before 1 a.m. Thursday.

The stabbing remains under investigation and no one has been arrested.

No other information was immediately released.
