posted (February 24, 2014)
And while that brother is being investigated, a nephew will now face murder charges after the uncle he was accused of stabbing, died this weekend.

44 year-old Thomas Ferguson Sr. got into a fight with his nephew, 36 year-old Oliver Peters on December 7, at a house on Arlington Drive. Peters took out a knife and allegedly stabbed his uncle in the center of the chest.

Ferguson had been fighting for his life since then and on Saturday, 2 and a half months later, he passed away at the KHMH. That means that Peters, who was charged and arraigned on charges of attempted murder, use of deadly means of harm, and dangerous harm, will now be upgraded to murder.

It is expected that he will be taken back to court at the earliest convenience.
