Providence's 6th homicide of 2008: Stabbing victim dies

PROVIDENCE -- A 36-year-old Providence man who was stabbed Sunday morning became the city's sixth homicide of the year this morning, the Providence police said.

Jukumu Felder, of 3 Whelan Rd., who was stabbed in the chest and had been in critical condition, died of the injuries this morning.

The police went to Rhode Island Hospital to assist hospital security with a stabbing victim at about 2:50 a.m. Sunday, according to a police news release.

The police learned Felder has been taken immediately into the operating room with a "serious stab wound," the police said, after an incident in which he was stabbed "during a disturbance" that happened near Saki's Pizzeria at Clemence and Weybosset streets.
