DETROIT (WWJ) -- Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced that two people were charged in connection to the fatal stabbing of a Detroit man.
54-year-old Steven Hooks and 31-year-old Bernice Chenevert, both of Detroit, were arraigned Friday on one charge of premeditated first-degree murder each.
The incident occurred on March 10 at a liquor store in the 14800 block of Livernois Avenue at 11:54 p.m., according to the Prosecutor’s Office. 40-year-old Cordell Harris reportedly spoke to Chenevert, before an argument started.
Authorities said Chenevert allegedly went to Hooks and gave him a broken glass bottle.
An altercation reportedly took place between the two men, resulting in Harris being stabbed multiple times in the neck. He was privately transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The probable cause for the pair is set for March 23 and the preliminary examination is scheduled for March 30.
