He was arrested several hours later.

Investigators said it appears that earlier in the morning, the suspect was involved in some sort of disturbance near the residence of the victim, which led to a verbal confrontation. The victim was preparing to mow his lawn before he was allegedly stabbed by the suspect. Both the victim and suspect were known to each other.
