The Spokane Police Department is looking for help identifying the suspect in a stabbing reported at The Flame on March 23. A man was stabbed at the bar at 2401 E. Sprague Ave. after an argument with another man. The suspect is described as a black man about six feet tall with a thin build and a short “afro” style haircut. He may have left the bar in a white sedan, police say, possibly a 1990’s Buick. Anyone with information about the identity of the man is asked to call Crime Check at 456-2233.
