Colorado Springs police ID victim who died after stabbing

Colorado Springs police have identified the man who was killed in a stabbing attacked last week near Dorchester Park.

Police say 54-year-old Randol Lille of Colorado Springs died in the early morning hours of Aug. 31 after being stabbed in the 200 block of E. Las Vegas Street. CSPD says it’s the 22nd homicide in the city so far this year.

It’s not clear if Lille is the victim of suspect Jimmy Lee Neill, who police identified last week. Police said there were two stabbings in the area, but very few details have been provided by the department.
