Upon arrival, police officers discovered the victim suffering from a severe stab wound to the abdomen.
First responders administered immediate first aid while the emergency medical team was dispatched.

One suspect brandished a knife, resulting in the fatal stabbing of the Singaporean student.
Law enforcement rapidly identified and apprehended two suspects, both aged 18.
Searches of their residences were conducted early Thursday morning, leading to their detention.
