HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A 16-year-old has been charged with murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of his mother's fiancé, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

The incident happened on Sunday at the Cornerstone Ranch Apartments in the 2000 block of S. Mason Road in west Harris County.

Deputies arrived and found 40-year-old Randall Jolley on the ground, suffering from a stab wound. EMS personnel rendered aid but pronounced him dead at the scene, HCSO says.
