Police arrest 33-year-old suspect after overnight stabbing on Decatur Court in Columbus, Georgia

Incident reported shortly before 1 a.m.

An arrest has been made after a stabbing reported overnight in Columbus, Georgia, with police describing the victim’s injuries as non-life-threatening.

The incident was reported shortly before 1 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, in the 900 block of Decatur Court. Officers who responded identified a suspect and took that person into custody, authorities said.

Suspect identified; victim expected to survive

Police identified the suspect as Precious Armour, 33. No additional identifying information about the victim was released in initial public updates, and authorities did not specify the victim’s age or gender.

Investigators said the victim’s injuries were not life-threatening. Beyond that, police have not described the specific nature of the wounds or whether the victim required extended hospitalization.

What is known—and what remains unclear

Early details made public indicate investigators had not released information about what happened immediately before the stabbing, including whether the victim and suspect knew each other, whether a dispute preceded the violence, or whether there were additional witnesses.

Authorities also have not publicly detailed:

• any motive alleged in the case
• the type of weapon involved beyond the characterization of the incident as a stabbing
• the exact location on the block where the assault occurred (such as inside a residence, outdoors, or in a shared common area)
• the specific criminal charges expected or filed at the time of the initial police updates

How the case typically proceeds after an arrest

In Columbus, violent-crime investigations commonly develop in stages: initial response and scene security, medical response for the victim, evidence collection, interviews, and a review by investigators prior to any final charging decisions. Arrests made shortly after an incident can be based on information available at the scene, with additional evidence and witness statements sometimes informing later prosecutorial steps.

Police have said only that the victim’s injuries are non-life-threatening and that no details have been released about what led to the stabbing.

Next updates expected

Further information is expected through formal charging documents, court records, and additional police updates. Those materials typically clarify the allegations, the sequence of events described by investigators, and whether additional individuals are being sought for questioning.

This report will be updated as authorities release more details about the circumstances of the stabbing and the status of the victim.
