Detectives are looking for the suspect who stabbed a Flushing man to death in his apartment on Tuesday night.

According to police, at 6:12 p.m. on Oct. 30, officers from the 107th Precinct responded to a 911 call regarding an unconscious man at an apartment inside 70-38 Parsons Blvd. Upon their arrival, they found 28-year-old Matthew Sandoz, lying unconscious and unresponsive inside with multiple stab wounds to his body.

Sources familiar with the investigation said that Sandoz’s grandmother made the gruesome discovery after visiting his apartment that day. She hadn’t heard from him in about a week, police said, and went to look for him along with building personnel.

EMS responded to the location and declared Sandoz dead at the scene. His body was transferred to the Medical Examiner’s office for an autopsy, and police have already declared the case a homicide.

No arrests have been made at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
