Arrest made in stabbing death of Gainesville man

GAINESVILLE - Gainesville police have arrested Lasheena Kinnana Cantrell in connection with a stabbing death at Ridgecrest Apartments early Monday morning.

Gainesville Police Lt. Carol Martin said Eveccio Ballard, 26, died after he was stabbed around 1:00 a.m. during an altercation involving three people.

Martin said the 22-year-old Cantrell has also been charged with battery involving a woman involved in the initial altercation. She is identified as Tasheen Collins.
