A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in the killing of a 27-year-old man who was found in his Duluth home over the weekend, authorities said Tuesday.

Police called to the Lincoln Park neighborhood home of Bryan A. Starnes on Saturday discovered him dead from what the St. Louis County medical examiner's office ruled on Monday were stab wounds.

No details have been released yet about what led to the killing or how Starnes and the suspect knew each other.

The city's previous homicide victim was Kevin Tyman, 54, who was stabbed at his home Dec. 21. There have been no arrests in that case.
