PARMA, Ohio (AP) - Police in Ohio say a man turned himself in over the weekend in connection with a fatal stabbing.

Parma Police Sgt. Daniel Ciryak says police responded late Friday to find 39-year-old Jason Masters in a basement with multiple stab wounds. Cleveland.com reports police and fire personnel attempted first aid, but it was unsuccessful and Masters was pronounced dead.
