One person was dead and another jailed following a stabbing Sunday night in Clayton County.

The incident occurred about 6:30 p.m. in the 1800 block of Bentwater Court near Riverdale, Clayton County police spokesman Eddie Soto said.

Soto said a domestic disturbance escalated and ended with Jemeka Riley stabbing her child’s father, Shamontay Robinson, in the neck.

Robinson, 26, was taken to Southern Regional Medical Center, where he later died.

Police arrested Riley, 25, and charged her with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime, Soto said in an e-mail.
