Police searching for man in connection to fatal stabbing in Lexington County

One man is dead and the Lexington County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a male suspect after a fatal stabbing Thursday evening on the 400 block of Baymore Lane.

The sheriff’s office Thursday was initially looking for Julian Jamel Flott, 33, in the area around Piney Grove Road and Harbison Boulevard. However, the sheriff’s office later broke down the perimeter.

Flott, who is Black, 5-foot-8, and 150 pounds with brown eyes and black hair, was last seen wearing a plaid shirt with white stripes and green and orange tennis shoes.

“We’re still looking for him and following up on any tips and leads we get as to his location,” Lexington County Sheriff’s Capt. Adam Myrick said.

The Lexington County Coroner’s Office pronounced Kevin Leon Miller, 38, dead at the scene after he was stabbed in an altercation at a house shortly after 6 p.m.

Anyone with information on Flott’s whereabouts can contact Midlands Crimestoppers at 1-888-274-6372.
