Two men remained jailed Monday awaiting possible murder charges in connection with a fatal weekend stabbing in Bemidji, officials said.

The male victim was stabbed multiple times about 3:30 a.m. Sunday in the 1800 block of NW. Minnesota Avenue, just west of Bemidji State University, police said.

His identity was not released.

The suspects — ages 20 and 22 — were arrested at a home later Sunday after witnesses described the assailants to officers, police said.

The Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.

Police did not give a possible motive for the killing.
