Officers responded to a call of a reported cutting at an apartment at the above address.  Upon arrival officers found that a male, 29, had been transported to an area hospital with multiple stab wounds.

Further investigation and witness statements revealed Simpson had been in an altercation with a female victim, 17, who is also pregnant.  During the altercation Simpson physically attacked the female. Simpson then attempted to remove suspect Brown from residence. The male victim grabbed Brown and attempted to drag him to the door.  Brown then grabbed a knife and stabbed the victim several times.

During the altercation a female juvenile, 15, attempted to intervene by separating Brown and the male victim.  The female juvenile victim suffered a laceration to her hand from Brown's knife.  Once Brown was successfully removed from the apartment, the victims called 9-1-1.
