Belmont police are actively searching for 22-year-old Elijah Raheem Lurry, who is accused of attacking his girlfriend after she allegedly ignored his calls.
The incident took place at a home on East Avenue, where Lurry is alleged to have stabbed his girlfriend and held both her and a friend against their will. After several hours, the victims managed to escape and seek medical assistance, as reported by WBTV.
Details of the incident emerged around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday when the victims arrived at a local hospital with serious injuries. An off-duty officer at the hospital alerted the police, prompting an investigation. The victims recounted that the confrontation began after they returned home from a night out and were confronted by Lurry, who was upset about what he perceived as a deliberate avoidance of his calls.
What started as an argument escalated into physical violence, culminating in the stabbing, according to a statement obtained by WCNC.
Lurry is facing serious charges, including attempted murder and kidnapping, and remains at large. Authorities have issued a warning to the public regarding his potential danger. Belmont Police are urging anyone with information on Lurry’s whereabouts to call 704-825-3792. He is considered armed and dangerous, according to QC News.
