A Marietta man is accused of stabbing a juvenile in the shoulder with a pocketknife at a Booth Road property last Wednesday, according to an arrest warrant described in the Marietta Daily Journal.
Court paperwork names Diego Lopez Vicente as the suspect and lists the scene as 1160 Booth Road SW in Marietta. The warrant says the juvenile was stabbed in the shoulder with a pocketknife and charges Vicente with aggravated assault with a weapon. The information comes from the arrest document and local police records cited in the Marietta Daily Journal’s reporting.
Charges and legal context
Under Georgia law, aggravated assault covers attacks committed "with a deadly weapon" or with any object likely to cause serious bodily injury, a category that includes stabbings. Convictions under O.C.G.A. § 16-5-21 can carry prison terms of up to 20 years, depending on the circumstances. As outlined in the Georgia Code, prosecutors decide which subsection of the statute applies and what specific penalties to pursue if formal charges move ahead.
What comes next
An arrest warrant is a formal accusation, not a determination of guilt. Public court filings will show whether prosecutors formally charge Vicente and whether he is booked and held on bond. For now, the Marietta Daily Journal’s account, drawn from the warrant and local police records, provides the key details that have been released. The case will be traceable through Cobb County court dockets and detention records as it moves forward, and additional information will emerge as new official documents are filed.
