“Then Dorway didn’t know no story or nutten, but he go out de house after. I don’t know where he went, and I don’t know if he see he, and that’s how the problem start.”

According to an eyewitness, who asked to remain anonymous, Dorway and the suspect got into a fight, during the course of which the suspect whipped out a knife and stabbed him before making good his escape, taking the weapon with him.

“I don’t know wha happen before de scuffle; all I notice is he geh juk, and I pick he up and rush he to de hospital,” the witness said.
