A man walking with his girlfriend early Friday in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood was fatally stabbed after they got into an argument with four men.

“Sometime during that confrontation, one suspect out of that group that he had the argument with, stabbed the victim in the chest,” says Seattle Police Detective Mark Jamieson.
