Eden stabbing suspect jailed under $1 million bail | Eden & Reidsville
EDEN — Police have charged Christopher Raymond Ellison, 34, of 621 North St., with attempted first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill in connection with a double stabbing that happened last week, according to a Rockingham County Sheriff's Office news release.
On Thursday, Aug. 17, around 2:30 p.m., police officers and sheriff’s deputies responded to Brownstone Commons Apartments in Draper on a report of two victims being assaulted. Officers were advised the suspect fled the scene.
Upon arriving at 1012 Georgia Ave., Apt. 1, they found two stabbing victims, a 44-year-old woman and her 7-year-old child, who were transported to hospitals for treatment of serious injuries sustained in the stabbing.
A perimeter was set up in the neighborhood to attempt to locate the suspect. A man matching the description of the suspect in the stabbings was located near Knott and New streets.
Police and deputies confronted Ellison, who was subsequently shot by law enforcement officers. He was transported for medical treatment.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation was requested to investigate this officer-involved shooting, per standard protocol. That investigation is still underway.
Ellison was released from the hospital Thursday afternoon and was escorted by police officers to the magistrate’s office in Wentworth, where his bail was set at $1 million. His court date is Sept. 5.
