LIVERMORE, CA — Livermore police arrested a 30-year-old man suspected of stabbing his roommate to death.

On Monday, police responded to a welfare check at a home on the 1000 block of North P Street, according to the Livermore Police Department to locate a 55-year-old man who hadn't been seen since last Friday. Inside the home, officers reportedly found a 55-year-old man dead with apparent stab wounds.
