Prosecutors Upgrade Charges In Santa Rosa Stabbing Case

Prosecutors have upgraded charges to murder in the stabbing of a Santa Rosa man.

Jacob Phillips died two weeks after a fight at his West Third Street apartment. Police say Phillips and suspect Robert Mendoza knew each other and argued before the stabbing. The knife has not been recovered, and a motive is unclear. Mendoza was treated for minor cuts and is held without bail at Sonoma County Jail.

He also faces two misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and is due back in court November 20th to enter a plea.
