A man stabbed to death in his home during San Francisco's bloody first weekend of the year has been identified: 42-year-old Troy Swann.
Swann's roommate, 54-year-old Mario Eslava, is currently in custody on murder charges after admittedly knifing Swann on Jan. 2. Eslava, who police say dialed 911 after the stabbing, is purportedly claiming he killed Swann in self-defense.
