Multiple warrants uncovered as investigation continues
Police have released new information on the juveniles arrested in connection with a stabbing that happened last Friday in Ithaca.
The juveniles, 13, 15 and 16-years-old, are accused with stabbing a man Friday night on N. Cayuga St.
Police said in an update that one of the suspects has two warrants from another state. One of those warrants is in connection with a homicide – the other involving a probation violation in connection with a rape.
Police didn’t identify which of the three had the outstanding, out-of-state warrants – and no additional information is expected to be released due to ages.

All three suspects were arraigned in Ithaca City Court on charges of Gang Assault in the First Degree, a Class B Felony, and Assault in the First Degree, a Class B Felony.
