A 29-year-old Florida male allegedly stabbed his grandmother 11 times on Mother’s Day after being asked to help carry in groceries.
The West Palm Beach Police Department said it received a call around 1:26 p.m. from a relative reporting that Keo Nottage had stabbed his grandmother, WPEC-TV reported.
‘Someone is going to die today.’
When officers arrived at the scene on 52nd Street, they found Nottage and his cousin involved in a physical altercation, the station said.
The grandmother — who was attacked during the incident — told officers Nottage’s cousin had just returned from the grocery store to prepare for a Mother’s Day dinner, WPEC said.
When the cousin asked Nottage to help bring in groceries, Nottage allegedly replied, “Someone is going to die today,” the station said.
Shortly afterward Nottage entered the kitchen, grabbed a knife, and stabbed his grandmother 11 times, WPEC reported.
Witnesses told the station the cousin tried to help the grandmother during the attack. According to a WPBF-TV video report, Nottage began chasing the cousin with the knife.

WPEC said that while the cousin was on the phone with police, Nottage tried to flee the scene.
But the cousin stopped Nottage, which led to another physical altercation between the two and resulted in an injury to the cousin’s hand, WPEC said.
Surveillance video and eyewitness accounts confirmed the sequence of events, WPEC said, adding that police subsequently accused Nottage of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
WPBF said Nottage — who appeared in court Monday — is being held without bond.
The grandmother was taken to a hospital for surgery and was in critical condition, WPEC said.
