Authorities in Colorado Springs have identified a 45-year-old man fatally stabbed on Sunday .
Jeremy Basamania died in the southeast part of the city.
Two men have been arrested in connection with Basamania’s death.
Jason Kover, 35, likely will face a first-degree murder charge, while Michael Adkisson, 33, was arrested on accusations of accessory to first-degree murder. Records show Kover is being held at the El Paso County jail in lieu of bail.
The stabbing happened at about 2:45 a.m. Sunday at the Quail Hill Mobile Home Park. Basamania was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police identified a person of interest and went to the 3600 block of Sheffield Lane for an interview. Officers wound up circling the house, and a SWAT team responded before Kover and Adkisson were eventually taken into custody.
Colorado Springs police haven’t said what motivated Basamania’s killing.
