A suspect has been arrested in the stabbing death of Jordan Gooch, 27, who was found dead Wednesday at the Walden at Oakwood apartment complex in Oakwood.
According to a press release from the Oakwood Police Department, Gooch's boyfriend, Emmanuel Kevin Harris, Jr., 31, has been charged for allegedly committing the crime.
