Man Charged in Fatal Stabbing of Child | San Francisco News

A chilling domestic tragedy unfolded in Pineville, North Carolina, when a 31-year-old man, Jehaaz-Akil Khaliq Echoles, was charged with first-degree murder after allegedly attacking a five-year-old boy in his ex-girlfriend’s apartment. Police responded to a midnight disturbance and found the child with multiple stab wounds — he later died. Echoles reportedly kicked down the door, entered the child’s room, shut the door, and fled before the mother could intervene. The mother and another child were unharmed. Echoles, with a prior assault conviction and pending charges, was arrested at a nearby Taco Bell. He’s held without bond, with his next court date set for July 30th. The community is reeling from the loss of a young life as authorities continue investigating this deeply disturbing case.
