The San Carlos Police Department (SCPD) issued a press release Tuesday offering $500 for information leading to the arrest of Clement James Dosela, 27, of San Carlos.

Dosela is wanted for questioning regarding a homicide and stabbing of a second victim Monday night in the Beverly Hills community in San Carlos, according to the release.
