When San Mateo County sheriff’s deputies returned to the scene of a homicide late Tuesday night along Skyline Boulevard to search for additional evidence, they made startling discoveries: A second victim lying on the ground, suffering from stab wounds and pleading for help, and a suspect spotted fleeing the area.

As deputies attempted to help the wounded man, who later died from his injuries, the suspect drove toward them, according to the sheriff’s office. A deputy opened fire at the oncoming vehicle, described over the radio as a BMW being driven by a male suspect, which crashed off the roadway.

The victim was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver was not hit by the gunfire and was arrested, according to the sheriff’s office. The San Mateo County Coroner identified the first homicide victim as Abdulmalek Nagi Nasher, 32, of Pacifica.

Both homicides happened within close proximity of each other, and both victims died from multiple stab wounds, according to the sheriff’s office.
