Jeffrey Clevaux of Balls Alley was stabbed in the left shoulder at around 6:30pm Tuesday and died shortly afterwards just minutes from his home, where friends had taken him in search of help.
\n
\nPolice are holding a 17 year-old male resident of St. Margaret's Road in custody in connection with the killing, and say that charges can be expected very soon.
\n
\nThe incident involved a group of youths, and it is thought that there may have been a history of recent disputes between those involved.
\n
\nSpeaking to The Tribune yesterday, Jeffrey's mother was clearly still stunned by the loss. She spoke in a whisper, with her daughter translating for her from Haitian Creole.
\n
\nSuperintendent Hulan Hanna of the Royal Bahamas Police Force says this ;atest death is a tragic example of the recent rise in knife crimes among teenagers.
\n
\nPolice are increasingly concerned that the use of knives allows disputes which might otherwise be resolved without a major incident, to escalate and become extremely dangerous.
\n
\nTuesday's murder comes less than a month after another 15-year-old boy was hospitalised having been stabbed several times in the neck and face.
