One of two suspects wanted in connection to the October 13 stabbing in Five Points turned himself in to Columbia Police Tuesday afternoon, chief Skip Holbrook said in a news release.

Christopher Eugene Fuller, 26, was charged with breach of peace of a high and aggravated nature. The suspected aggressor in the early morning attack, Jeremy Alan Asbill, 27, remains at large, Holbrook said.

The stabbing of a 23-year-old man occurred during an early morning fight on October 13, that started on the 800 block of Harden Street and ended up across the street at 727 Harden Street. The victim, who was stabbed several times in the upper and lower body when he tried to break up the fight, has since been treated for his injuries and released from the hospital, Holbrook said.

Asbill, pictured in an orange polo shirt, is wanted for attempted murder and breach of peace of a high and aggravated nature. Fuller is believed to have been involved in the fight that led to the stabbing.

If you know the whereabouts of Asbill, you are urged to call Crime Stoppers at 888-CRIME-SC; or text to CRIMES (274637), and mark the beginning of the message with "TIPSC," followed by the tip information; or, log onto: www.midlandscrimestoppers.com, and click on the red "Submit a tip" tab.
