PALM BAY, Fla. – A man has been taken into custody Friday after a fatal stabbing, according to the Palm Bay Police Department.
Officers were dispatched around 1:35 p.m. on June 1 to a possible stabbing on Wake Forest Road Northwest.
Police said officers found a male victim lying on the ground with multiple wounds.
The victim, who police have identified as Palm Bay resident Quentin Tracy, later died as a result of the injuries, police said. The victim's girlfriend was also injured during the incident and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A PBPD arrest report said the victims and the suspect were roommates at the residence and had an argument over groceries being eaten. The victim and the suspect began arguing, which eventually led to physical violence, according to the report.

Mhango will be held at the Brevard County Jail with no bond, police said. A judge said he is not allowed to have any contact with any alleged witness or victims and cannot return to the location of the offense.
