A grim scene unfolded in a Tulsa apartment where a man was apprehended for the stabbing of his mother, sister, and infant niece. The Tulsa Police Department reported on their Facebook page that on Sunday evening, they received a distress call about a violent altercation at a residence near 1200 E. 63rd St. The suspect, Jeremiah Holden, had absconded after the episode, leaving three family members with stab wounds.
Law enforcement found a 61-year-old woman, the assailant's mother, with a life-threatening injury to her neck. Alongside her was found a young woman, aged 29 - Holden's sister - and an 8-month-old baby girl suffering from a stab wound to the face, both relatives of the attacker. Officers canvassed the area, ultimately discovering Holden under a blanket near 1100 E. 64th St., unresponsive from an apparent overdose and requiring Narcan to be administered, according to the Tulsa Police Department.
"Officers administered Narcan to Holden, who was unresponsive at the time, and he was taken into custody and to the hospital," as detailed the Tulsa Police Department's statement. Following emergency intervention, Holden was hospitalized and later booked into the Tulsa County Jail on multiple counts of domestic assault and battery with a deadly weapon.
While the act of violence shocked the community, the victims, led by Holden's mother, sustained severe injuries but are believed to survive. The post clarifies, "This is an arrest, not a conviction," signaling that the legal process is still underway, as per the Tulsa Police Department.
