A Walker County man was stabbed to death in Whitfield County and a suspect is in custody.

 According to reports, 28-year-old Ricky Grice, Jr. was slumped in the front seat of his Dodge pickup truck at a house when sheriff's deputies arrived. 22-year-old Jonathan Durden reportedly was standing nearby in a driveway with blood on his hand, holding a knife. The call came in at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. 

Whitfield County Sheriff Scott Chitwood says his investigators believe the victim, Grice, had driven to Durden's house early Tuesday morning to pick up a woman who was staying there that reportedly wanted to leave. Durden is alleged to have become angry, walked over to the truck and stabbed Grice several times through the open truck window.  

 Grice was pronounced dead at Hamilton Medical Center; and Durden is in the Whitfield County Jail, charged with his murder.

The woman, 22-year-old Alexa Blubaugh, of Rocky Face, was also charged with possession of meth and possession of tools for the commission of a crime.
