A man has died at the St. Cloud Hospital after being stabbed Tuesday morning.

St. Cloud Assistant Police Chief Jeff Oxton says officers responded to a report that a man had been stabbed at a house on Oak Grove Road Southwest just after 6:30 a.m. When they arrived, police found the victim, a man from Iowa, had been stabbed in the torso.

The police investigation showed there had been an argument between the victim and his male friend, 22-year-old Robin Russell Hanson who was also visiting from Iowa. During the argument, Hanson allegedly stabbed the victim.

The victim was taken to St. Cloud Hospital and died at 7:25 a.m. Hanson was taken into custody and will be taken to Stearns County Jail. He is facing charges of second degree murder.

This is an active investigation by the St. Cloud Police Department and Criminal Investigation Units, with assistance from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
