A preliminary hearing has been set for Oct. 30 for a North Park man accused of stabbing his roommate to death on July 2.

Jonathan Robert Camp, 39, has pleaded not guilty to killing John Baquera, 58, where Camp lived with his father and Baquera in the Alabama Manor complex in the 3800 block of Alabama Street.

The attorneys did not discuss bail or the facts in the case when Camp appeared before San Diego Superior Court Judge Aaron Katz on July 6.

Camp remains in the central jail without bail.

The incident occurred on July 2 and police reported they received a call at 11:55 p.m. Officers found the victim suffering from multiple stab wounds to his chest. Officers attempted to perform life-saving measures until paramedics arrived.

Baquera’s injuries were grave and he was pronounced deceased at the scene, according to police.

Detectives were investigating an “ongoing dispute” in the living situation between the defendant and the victim, according to a press release from San Diego Police. Alabama Manor is housing that is designed for mostly people who are over 55 years of age or older.

Jonathan Camp fled the scene after the incident and officers were conducting a search in the area, shining flashlights in the neighborhood in the early morning hours to see where he was hiding.

Around 4 a.m., a shirtless Jonathan Camp returned to the apartment complex and was arrested. A photographer with Times of San Diego captured a photo of Camp as he was being arrested.
