HIGH POINT, N.C. — High Point police officers arrested and charged a man in connection with a deadly stabbing Wednesday night.
Investigators were called to 400 N. Centennial Street just after 10 p.m.
Officers found the victim, 30-year-old Kelvin D. Wyche. Despite efforts by first-responders, Wyche died.
According to Open Door Ministries' Executive Director Ryan Ross, Wyche and another resident got into a fight, a knife was pulled, and Wyche was stabbed.
After interviewing witnesses, police arrested 48-year-old Michael Gahagan and charged him with second-degree murder in connection with Wyche's death.
Ross said he doesn't know what led to the fight and weapons are not allowed at Open Door Ministries. He said the staff does random checks of lockers to make sure no one has weapons.
Ross said shelter and meals were still provided at Open Door Ministries and there are counselors on hand to speak with staff and residents if needed.
Gahagan is being held on a $1 million bond at the Guilford Co. Detention Center.
