Police seek help finding domestic violence suspect

By CASEY MCNERTHNEY
P-I REPORTER

Police are asking for the public's help in finding the suspect in a Sunday morning stabbing that sent two people to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Eusebio Hernandez-Espinoza, 41, is the man police believe attacked his estranged wife and another man in the 100 block of Eighth Avenue. Hernandez-Espinoza and his wife had befriended the man at a Burien bar before the 4:20 a.m. stabbing.

Officers say the three returned to a Central District apartment, where Hernandez-Espinoza stabbed them numerous times. The man collapsed at the intersection of Yesler and Broadway; police found the female collapsed in the apartment doorway.

Police say Hernandez-Espinoza, who is also known as Nelson Hernandez, may be driving a white pickup truck with a brown or black canopy and Idaho license plates. He has black hair, brown eyes is 5-foot-7 with a medium build.

Police believe Hernandez-Espinoza may be armed.

"That's why we're asking people not to approach him," spokesman Jeff Kappel said. "We want people to watch him from a safe distance and call us to come get him."
