A man was killed and another was in police custody Saturday after a stabbing at a Wheaton home Friday night, police said.

Authorities also said they were interviewing witnesses to the stabbing, which occurred around 9:30 p.m. Friday at a party on the 800 block of Crescent Street.

The victim, whose name had not yet been released pending family notification, died early Saturday morning at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, authorities said.
