Detectives from the Major Crimes Bureau are investigating a fatal stabbing in Groveton that resulted in the death of a man. On June 10, at 1:55 p.m., officers responded to a call about a stabbing incident at Richmond Highway and North Kings Highway. Upon arrival, they found an adult male with multiple stab wounds to the upper body lying on the road. Officers attempted life-saving measures until fire and rescue personnel took over. The victim, identified as Marvin Waters, 32, who had no fixed address, was transported to a local hospital in critical condition but was later pronounced dead.
