Asheville police are asking for the public’s help in finding a suspect wanted in the stabbing death of a 32-year-old Asheville man identified as Frederick Garfield McLeod.

McLeod was stabbed in the parking lot of Beaucatcher Cinemas on Tunnel Road Friday night. He asked movie theater employees for help, and was transported to Mission Hospitals, where he died early Saturday morning.

Asheville police say McLeod was a native of Jamaica, but had lived in Asheville for five years. Anyone with information should call APD at 252-1110 or CrimeStoppers at 255-5050.
