A 28-year-old New Hope man is charged with a fatal stabbing that happened outside an apartment complex in Brooklyn Center on Tuesday.

Charges say Demetrius Lamar Harris fatally stabbed 37-year-old Antonio Levar Moore, of St. Louis Park, after Harris allegedly assaulted the victim's sister at the Twin Lake North Apartments.

Moore died of a "sharp force injury of the abdomen," according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.

The victim's sister had previously been in a relationship with Harris and they have a child together, according to the criminal complaint.

Harris reportedly became angry with the woman after she "received a phone call from another man." That's when Harris allegedly assaulted the woman, prompting her to call her brother, Moore, asking him for help because Harris wouldn't leave the apartment.

When Moore arrived, Harris went out to the parking lot to meet him. The two started fighting, during which Harris stabbed Moore. His sister told police she saw her brother lying on the ground. Harris reportedly told her to "check on" him and "ran away."

Moore was taken to North Memorial Health Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Harris was arrested later that same night after someone living at a nearby apartment complex reported him as an unwanted person in the building close to midnight.

"My thoughts today are with the victim’s family, and especially his sister who he was protecting during this incident," Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said.

“We will not tolerate violence in our communities. I’m grateful to the Brooklyn Center Police Department for working quickly to respond to the scene, identify the person responsible, and apprehend him. We will now aggressively prosecute this case to
hold Mr. Harris accountable.”

Harris is charged with one count of 2nd-degree murder. If convicted, he face up to 40 years in prison. He's scheduled to make his first court appearance Friday afternoon.
