Fatal stabbing location
DALLAS - The suspect in a fatal stabbing at a birthday party Thursday surrendered to police Friday night.
Ernest Ford, 20, turned himself in to Dallas police detectives. He was wanted for his involvement in Clyde Shavers Jr.'s death.
There were conflicting reports on the details surrounding Shavers' death. In an initial report from police, it stated Shavers, 38, had gotten into an argument with his stepson's friend. The conflict apparently spilled outside where the young man pulled out a knife and stabbed him.
Other witnesses stated that Shavers was breaking up a fight between the young man and his girlfriend when the stabbing occurred.
Shavers died at a nearby Dallas hospital where he was transported.
Two fundraisers have been set up at the House of Blues to help his family. One will take place at the House of Blues Dallas from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. Another will take place at the "Jamaican Me Crazy Royal Rack Event" at the House of Blues Dallas, which is where Shavers was employed. The event will take place from 9 p.m. until 2 a.m. January 13 in the Cambridge Room. Donations will benefit his family.
A viewing will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at the Paradise Funeral home. Funeral services will take place at noon Saturday at the Paradise Funeral Home at 3910 South Lancaster Road in Dallas.
