A man was stabbed to death in Lake Worth Beach this past Sunday, which has led to the arrest of James Griffin. The incident took place around 10 p.m. in the 900 block of Lake Avenue, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed. WFLX reported that upon deputies' arrival, the man was found deceased.
Subsequent to the discovery, detectives from the violent crimes division embarked on a homicide investigation. An early breakthrough yielded a person of interest, revealed by a statement initially made by the Sheriff's Office. The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office announced this morning, as CBS12 reported, the arrest of James Griffin, implicating him on counts of second-degree murder and obstruction of justice.
Griffin was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail shortly before 11 p.m. yesterday. He is expected to have a court appearance this morning. The name of the victim has not been released, as officials continue to withhold details surrounding the circumstances of the stabbing. The expectation is that more information will come to light coinciding with Griffin's court appearance.
As it stands, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office has been reticent, providing few details about the motive or sequence of events that led to the stabbing. CBS12's coverage indicates that additional information is anticipated at the time of the court proceedings involving Griffin.
