A teen fatally stabbed his mother’s boyfriend with a butcher’s knife during an argument, Oklahoma police said.

Officers responded on May 4 to reports of a stabbing at an apartment complex, according to a May 6 Facebook post from the Tulsa Police Department.

Officers found 29-year-old Rashaun Jackson with a stab wound to his chest and tried “life-saving measures,” but he died at the scene “a short time later,” according to police.

Police said the stabbing stemmed from a domestic dispute between Jackson and his girlfriend’s 15-year-old son.

During the argument, the teen “grabbed a butcher knife and stabbed Jackson,” police said.

The teen was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder, police said.
