## Resource

A 5-year-old child was fatally stabbed in Pineville early Thursday, July 9th, prompting police to arrest the father, 31-year-old Jehaaz-Akil Khaliq Echoles, on first-degree murder charges. The child was found unresponsive at an apartment complex after a midnight 911 call; despite emergency efforts, they died at the hospital. Echoles, with a prior assault conviction, is now facing serious charges as investigators believe this was a domestic tragedy — the mother and another child in the home were unharmed. The motive remains unclear as authorities continue to investigate. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
