An employee at an adult foster care home in central Minnesota is dead and another man is in custody after a stabbing last weekend.

Shortly after 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Cold Spring-Richmond police were called to a report of an assault in the 400 block of Eighth Avenue North in Cold Spring, southwest of St. Cloud.

The stabbing occurred at St. Luke's Home, a residential group home for adults with developmental disabilities. It’s operated by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud.

When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from a stab wound. Law enforcement and medical personnel attempted life-saving measures, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

In a statement, Catholic Charities President and CEO Aaron Fisk said, "We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident that resulted in the loss of life of an employee” at the home.

Fisk said Catholic Charities is cooperating with law enforcement and regulatory authorities as they investigate. The employee’s name has not been released.

Police arrested a 33-year-old man at the home. He's being held in the Stearns County Jail. MPR News typically does not identify suspects until they are charged with a crime.
