A man is in custody after police were called to the home of his grandmother in the early hours of Saturday.
The woman called 911 because she was afraid her grandson, who was becoming violent, would hurt her.
Police arrived a short time later at the apartment near the intersection of West Bellfort and Nunn St. and say they found the man to be combative, fighting with officers before being subdued and put into a police cruiser.
Police also found that the woman has been killed by stab wounds.
