Police said they were called to the home at about 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 29 due to a stabbing. When they got to the home, they found Dennis, who had "at least one stab wound."
Dennis was taken to a nearby hospital, where he died.
Police are still looking for the person who stabbed Dennis and have identified a person of interest in the case as 34-year-old Edwin Lopez. Police are now asking for the public's help in finding Lopez as they want to question him about the incident.
Lopez is described as a Hispanic man who is 5' 8" tall, weighs 160 lbs. and has black hair and brown eyes.
Police said that Dennis and Lopez got into a fight before the stabbing.
If you know where Lopez may be, you are asked to call Phoenix police at (602) 262-6151 or Silent Witness at (480) WITNESS or (480) TESTIGO to report a tip in Spanish. There is a reward of up to $2,000 for information that leads to an arrest in this case.
