WALTHAM, MA– After a man was fatally stabbed the night of October 31, on Alder Street, police are asking for the public's help in finding the person who may have been responsible. Shortly after 9 p.m., Waltham Police received a 911 call from a 61-year-old man reporting that he had been stabbed in his Alder Street residence. The man, identified as Kevin Fitzgerald, called police to tell them he had been attacked by a man that he was unable to identify. Police found the man alone in his residence and first responders rushed him to Newton Wellesley Hospital where he later died. Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Waltham Chief of Police Keith MacPherson said investigators believe that the person responsible for the attack may have been seen in the area shortly before the assault.
