00:00 Well look, we know very little here at the moment.
00:05 Police have taped off a playground and a local park area just off Mortimer Road and Acacia
00:10 Ridge just south of Brisbane.
00:12 Officers were called to the scene here just past midnight last night to find a 22-year-old
00:17 man with critical stab wounds to the chest.
00:20 He died at the scene.
00:22 Now forensics have been combing this area all morning trying to look for clues, but
00:27 the weather here has really dampened their efforts.
00:30 The park is right next to a local sports club where hundreds of families have been gathering
00:35 this morning for a special Mother's Day soccer game.
00:39 Some of the people we spoke to here this morning said they were shocked to hear something like
00:43 this could happen in their local area.
00:45 Here's what a few of them had to say a bit earlier.
00:48 Pretty devastating, you know, like a local community like this.
00:50 It's such a young age to be murdered, so it's not good at all.
00:56 Have you heard of something like this happening?
00:57 No, I haven't.
00:59 Not around here anyway.
01:00 Yeah, so close to, you know, a precinct like this.
01:03 I'm scared to hear that.
01:06 Very scared.
01:08 This is my first time.
01:10 Only people killed in the car, you know.
01:12 Car accident.
01:13 That's all I know.
01:15 Now officers say the victim was known to the offender and the offender had fled the scene
01:20 by the time they had arrived.
01:23 They're appealing to anyone with information or vision to contact officers.
