An overnight stabbing rocks a James Island neighborhood ending with one young man dead and a teenager in jail.

The Charleston County Sheriff's Office says the triple stabbing happened on Teal Marsh Road.

Police arrested 19-year-old Charles Richard Dobson and charged him with murder.  He is currently being held at the Charleston County Detention Center where is awaiting a bond hearing.

Three people were stabbed or cut and one is dead.

Sheriff Al Cannon says investigators are still trying to piece the events together.

"We're really not exactly sure of what happened, why it happened, or who all was involved in it or what role various people had in the altercation," Cannon said.

Investigators know the stabbing occurred on Teal Marsh on James Island Wednesday night where Travis Macon Barow was severely injured and Mary Whilden Hills was injured.

Richard Craig Massey died from a stab wound to the chest.

And Charles Richard Dobson is in jail for at least a murder charge.

"We are coordinating with the solicitor and obviously evaluating and gathering evidence and information so that we know exactly what appropriate charges are for what occurred," Cannon explained.

Dobson may face more charges as the investigation continues and more details develop.

Dobson was arrested before for a charge of possession with intent to distribute marijuana last year and simple assault.
