CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — According to the Chillicothe Police Department, the victim of Wednesday’s stabbing on South Watt Street in Chillicothe was on the run from law enforcement.
On Wednesday, police responded to 83 South Watt Street in Chillicothe on reports of a stabbing. Reports say Ricky Jay Rapp Jr. was stabbed multiple times in the face, head, and arm. Medics transported him to Adena Medical Center for treatment.
Jimmie Davis, 28, of Chillicothe, admitted to police that he stabbed Rapp. Also arrested for assault was Cheyanna Davis, 25, of Chillicothe. Cheyanna, reports say, was Rapp’s ex-girlfriend. She was allegedly at the house with her brother, Jimmie, to retrieve a few personal items. That is when the incident occurred.
