She has not been named a suspect, but a 43-year-old woman is wanted for questioning in the stabbing death of a College Park man, police said.

Police were called shortly before 1 a.m. Tuesday to a Lakemont Drive apartment, where they found the body of Bernard Walton. Walton, 55, died from a stab wound to the upper chest, and his death was ruled a homicide, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said late Tuesday.
