A 34-year-old man is accused of fatally stabbing an elderly man on Thursday outside a Prichard apartment complex.

Jeremy Norwood was taken into police custody minutes after the stabbing that took place just before 7:30 a.m. in the 2100 block of Wolf Ridge Road.

Norwood is now charged with murder, Prichard police say. He is being held in the Mobile County Metro Jail without bond.

Police say Norwood lived in the same apartment complex as the victim, but it's unclear if they knew each other.

The victim was stabbed once, according to police, and was pronounced dead at the scene. He has yet to be identified.

Prichard police say a motive for the attack hasn't been established. The homicide remains under investigation.

Anyone with information on the attack is asked to call police at 251-452-2211.
