A Chesapeake man is accused of fatally stabbing his 19-year-old son in the chest during an argument Sunday night.
Police spokesman Tony Torres said the stabbing occurred in the 2200 block of Christian Ave. Police were called there at 10:45 p.m. after receiving a domestic-disturbance report. When they arrived at the intersection of Christian Avenue and Keel Street, they found the son, Donnie Wingfield, with a stab wound to the left side of his chest.
