Triple-Stabbing Suspect in Critical Condition After Hit by Truck in Solon
No charges have been filed against Matthew Cepik, accused of stabbing three people Monday morning.
The suspect identified in the stabbing of three people Labor Day morning at Golden Gate Villa, and hit in Solon, remains in critical condition, as do two of the three victims.
A box truck hit Matthew Cepik, an Iraqi War veteran, after he ran in front of a box truck on US 422 in Solon around 7:40 a.m. Monday.
That was about two hours after one of the victims told Mayfield Heights Police that he stabbed his former girlfriend, her mother and a male family friend. The incident remains under investigation and charges have not been filed against Cepik, who is staying at Hillcrest Hospital.
According to Solon Police, it is believed Cepik may have intentionally jumped in front of the truck that hit him.
The male victim is in stable condition at MetroHealth Hospital in Cleveland, while the women are in critical condition at Hillcrest, according to Mayfield Police.
