  1. But how did the victim get from Acacsia to Redwood Way without his car? Who dropped him off? Another twist to this may be his attacker was the victim's son (ages of dad and son fit), they had an argument (over drugs?)and the son stabbed his Dad. The son drove his Dad to Redwood Way Near Hospital?) ,panicked and dropped him off and then drove off. Something to think about as a cause and affect.
