A man died after a stabbing in broad daylight in the parking garage of a Safeway in D.C.'s Glover Park neighborhood.

Anvar Guliyev, of Fairfax, Virginia, was the man who died, the Metropolitan Police Department said. He was 36.

Officers responded to the parking garage, in the 1800 block of Wisconsin Avenue NW, at about noon Wednesday. A fight had been reported.

Police found a scene in the garage but no victims.

Somehow, two men with stab wounds made their way to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, about a mile away. Guliyev was pronounced dead. The other man was admitted to the hospital in critical condition.

Meanwhile at the store known by some as β€œSocial Safeway,” detectives processed the scene in the parking garage as patrons shopped. The garage bristles with surveillance cameras.

A suspect was arrested on Thursday morning, police said in an update. Khalil Khalilov, 34, of Alexandria, Virginia, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder while armed and assault with intent to kill.
