Florence Man Charged With Murder After Stabbing

Dominique Gerod Brockington has been arrested and charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime in the fatal stabbing of 29-year-old Anthony Ray in Florence, South Carolina.

Brockington was also injured and received medical treatment before being taken into custody; he remains at the Florence County Detention Center and was additionally served with an existing domestic-violence warrant.
