TEENAGER CHARGED AFTER MAN IS FATALLY STABBED DURING FIGHT

A 17-year-old boy has been arrested and charged with murder, accused of stabbing a man who was being too loud, police said.

Police sent to the 1500 block of Halter Drive early Wednesday found 23-year-old Reginald A. Jones dead from several stab wounds in the upper body. After talking to witnesses, detectives went to the teen's home to arrest him, police said.

Police did not release the suspect's identity because of his age. He was being held in the Tidewater Detention Home.

Jones, of the 1400 block of Weyburn Court, argued with the suspect while they were visiting acquaintances, police said.
