DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Des Moines police have arrested a man in an early-morning stabbing death. Police say officers were called just before 2 a.m. Sunday to investigate a stabbing and found a 40-year-old man with a wound to his chest.

The man was taken to a hospital, where he died. He was identified as 40-year-old Des Moines resident Kendall Moore. On Sunday morning, police say investigators charged 23-year-old Corderro Alton Laurence with first-degree murder. He was being transferred to the Polk County jail.
