CINCINNATI — One man is dead after being stabbed in Bond Hill Sunday afternoon and a second man has been arrested for murder, according to Cincinnati police.
Cincinnati officers were called to the 1400 block of Franklin Avenue around 4 p.m. on October 12 after getting calls reporting a person had been stabbed.
When police arrived at the scene, they found 21-year-old Dontarius Tre'Von Caldwell suffering from a stab wound. Caldwell was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he died from his injuries.
Police arrested and charged 27-year-old Herschel Palmore III with Caldwell's murder.
According to court documents, police believe Palmore is the person who stabbed Caldwell based on physical evidence and witness statements. The document also says Caldwell himself made statements that led police to believe Palmore was the alleged suspect.
In court Monday morning, a judge ordered Palmore be held on a $1 million bond, of which he must pay 10%.
Prosecution alleged in court that two juvenile witnesses told police they saw Palmore rush out of his home with a knife and stab Caldwell multiple times. Prosecutors said the pair had been "trash talking" one another via text prior to the incident.
Palmore's defense attorney said there was more to the story, and pointed out that Caldwell came to Palmore's home and behaved aggressively; prosecutors said when Caldwell was stabbed, he did not have a weapon on his person, however.
