A second woman, 26-year-old Dee Age Jer Tyteona Jemison, was taken into custody at the scene and eventually charged with the stabbing.

Kennedy said the two women allegedly had a physical fight in a local club sometime before the stabbing, and the violence at the apartment complex was a result of that altercation.

Jemison was charged with Attempted Murder and placed in the Tuscaloosa County Jail, where her bond was set at $30,000.

It is the only incident of violence reported during what is expected to be the busiest weekend of the year in Tuscaloosa.
