A 44-year-old Garden Grove man is facing attempted murder charges for a stabbing attack in Anaheim earlier this month, police said Wednesday.
Gilbert David Marquez was charged last week with attempted murder with sentencing enhancements for the personal use of a deadly weapon and inflicting great bodily injury on the victim. He did not enter a plea at his arraignment Tuesday in the jail courtroom in Santa Ana, which was rescheduled for June 7 in the North Justice Center in Fullerton.
Marquez was accused of stabbing the man at a business in the 400 block of South Euclid Street on May 1, police said. Police responded to a hospital at about 6 a.m. that day regarding the victim, authorities said. The defendant was arrested Friday in downtown Anaheim, police said.
Marquez pleaded guilty in July 2002 to carjacking and street terrorism, both felonies. He was sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison, according to court records.
