A family feud over a child ended Sunday when the mother allegedly stabbed the father’s friend.

Jarai Jkira Green, 22, of the 100 block of Fort Street, Minden, was arrested Wednesday by Minden Police and charged with attempted second degree murder.

Police Chief Jared McIver said on Sunday, March 31 around 7 p.m., 20-year-old Jordan Lott was “hanging out” with KJ (no last name given) on E. Union Street.

“KJ and the child’s mother (identified as Green) were texting back and forth, and KJ told Jordan that his child’s mother was going to call the police on him about their child,” McIver said. 

At the time, KJ had their child with him, and they were sitting in KJ’s truck when a white vehicle, reportedly containing Green, her sister and their father, pulled up to the location.

A fight reportedly ensued among those present and Lott was stabbed during the incident.

“Det. Matthew Hicks made contact with the stabbing victim, Lott, through his mother Monday evening at the hospital,” said the chief. “Lott sustained a collapsed left lung and a shattered left knee as a result of the attack.”

A video of the incident reportedly shows Green armed with a knife as she stabbed Lott multiple times in the back.

“Det. Hicks showed Lott a DMV photo of Jarai Green provided by Thinkstream ,” McIver said. “Jordan confirmed it was her.”

Police arrested Green around 10 a.m. Wednesday.
