Justin Adam Crow Jr., 20, of Jonesboro, was arrested early Wednesday and charged with attempted murder, according to Howard County Sheriff’s Office online booking records.

At about 9:30 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, officers received a call about a man who had been stabbed in the neck in an alley in Greentown, WTHR-TV reported.

Officers found Ryan Cummins, 48, of Greentown, who was being helped by a bystander, according to the Kokomo Tribune.

Cummins told investigators he was riding his bicycle in an alley when he was approached by a man, later identified as Crow, according to the newspaper.

Cummins said that Crow used pepper spray on his face and two men began fighting, WXIN-TV reported. During the altercation, Crow allegedly stabbed Cummins and said he was going to kill him.

Crow then allegedly stood over Cummins and asked the victim for his name, according to the television station. When Cummins identified himself, Crow allegedly said, “Wrong guy,” and left the area on foot.

Investigators later tracked Crow to a home in Greentown, where he was staying with his grandparents, WTHR reported. Crow was detained after officers found evidence related to the crime, according to the television station.
