6-year-old boy stabbed to death in Baltimore; police suspect mother’s boyfriend

71

BALTIMORE (AP) — A man is suspected of stabbing his girlfriend’s 6-year-old son to death in the boy’s home in Baltimore, authorities said.

No one has been arrested in connection with Tuesday’s crime, which killed Seron O’Neal, who was stabbed several times in the back and pronounced dead at the hospital. But investigators have one person in custody and believe the mother’s boyfriend is responsible, police spokesman Vernon Davis said in a press release.

The police did not specify whether the person in custody is the mother’s boyfriend nor did they say what motivated the crime, which they described as a “stabbing due to a domestic dispute.”
