Police were called to the scene at about 2 a.m. at The Abbey at Briar Forest Apartments on Bentworth Drive.
A verbal argument between daughter and father escalated and turned violent, according to authorities.
Police said the 34-year-old man bled out and died from a stabbing to the leg.
"He seemed like a good guy," a neighbor said. "That's a crazy thing that happened."
The teenager was being cooperative in the investigation. She was not arrested after police said it looked like a case of self-defense.
