Officers arrived on scene to find the occupants of the residence cleaning up a large amount of blood on the floor, according to a report from the Paso Robles Police Department.
A 21-year-old male victim had been transported to Twin Cities Community Hospital by another roommate prior to officers’ arrival.

The suspect did not appear to be wounded from the incident, said Paso Robles Police Sgt. Tod Rehner.
The weapon allegedly used in the crime was recovered from Lopez at the time of his arrest. Lopez was later transported to San Luis Obispo County Jail and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, a felony.
