ISLAMORADA, Fla. (AP) - Investigators in the Florida Keys are searching for a 17-year-old who is suspected of fatally stabbing his 14-year-old brother and injuring their father early Thursday.
The 43-year-old father was stabbed multiple times but was able to go to a neighbor’s house and seek help, Monroe County Sheriff’s spokesman Adam Linhardt said in an email.

The sheriff’s office arrived at the scene about 6 a.m., he said.
The father was flown to a hospital in Miami-Dade County and his condition wasn’t immediately known, Linhardt said.
He added that other agencies, including Miami-Dade police, are assisting in the search.
