CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Police have arrested a man in connection with a fatal stabbing at a Chester group home Thursday morning.
Jamar Adams, 24, of the 13300 block of Gladehill Road, is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of a man whose name has not yet been released.
Officers responded to the Gladehill Road home at 9:12 a.m. and found the stabbing victim who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators say Adams was known to the victim and there is no ongoing threat to the community.
Neighbors told CBS 6 the house operates as a group home for people needing assisted living.
The address is linked to a business called Amazing Care Assisted Living LLC, which has been operating since 2019.
Neighbors, including Alex Chan, said scenes like this are not normal for the neighborhood. He says it's usually quiet.
"I occasionally walk around exercising, just do laps and things seem fine," Chan said. "I've never noticed anything out of the ordinary."
That's why when Chan heard the siren's this morning, he said he was shocked.
"Literally this morning, a cup of coffee and then out the window there's a lot of noise. A lot more than usual. It's mostly a quiet morning for sure," Chan said.
I spoke to another resident; he said he's been living in the home, where the incident took place, for two years. He said the victim was a great man.
