An Alexandria man accused of fatally stabbing his father on Saturday afternoon was accused in a previous case of attempted murder.

Gary Lee Jr., 32, allegedly stabbed 60-year-old Gary Lee Sr. multiple times during an argument at the father’s house on Los Angeles Street.

The victim was taken to a hospital after officers arrived and subsequently died, police said.

The son is charged with second-degree murder and is being held under $1,000,000 bail. 

Five years ago, March 2019,  Lee Jr. was accused of attempted second-degree murder as well as robbery and battery.

Two years later he was booked on a battery charge and later in 2021 on a felony drug charge.
