WILLINGBORO, NJ.- Today, Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw reported, that a 26-year-old Willingboro, New Jersey, man was taken into custody and charged in connection with last Saturday’s stabbing death of his 23-year-old brother after the two were involved in an argument inside the family’s Willingboro home.
Carl Agyemang, 26, of Willingboro, has been charged with first-degree Murder; third-degree Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose; and fourth-degree Unlawful Possession of a Weapon.
Investigation
The charges stem from an investigation that unfolded on Saturday, August 24, 2024, when, at around 11:15 a.m., members of the Willingboro Township Police Department responded to a 911 Emergency Call reporting a stabbing inside a Hepburn Lane residence.
Upon arrival, Police Officers found Floyd Agyemang, 23, suffering from a life-threatening stab wound to his chest. Mr. Agyemang was immediately transported to Cooper University Hospital in Camden. Despite life-saving efforts by doctors, Mr. Agyemang succumbed to injuries from the stab wound and was pronounced deceased on Saturday at 10:30 p.m.
Fled On Foot
Following the stabbing, Carl Agyemang fled the home on foot but was located a short time later and was taken into custody by Police Officers from the Willingboro Police Department. During the arrest, Agyemang was found to be in possession of a knife that was believed to have been used in the stabbing.
After being taken into custody, Agyemang was charged later Saturday night. Following being processed on the charges, Agyemang was remanded to the Burlington County Jail pending future court proceedings in Burlington County Superior Court in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
