Baltimore police have arrested three suspects in the Saturday morning stabbing of Corporal Darius Ray. A spokesperson for the Baltimore Police Department says that 26-year-old Michael Wiggins, 22-year-old Vernon Hadley, and 27-year-old Nicky Woodward were arrested on Sunday morning.

Ray, a resident of Potomac, Maryland, was stabbed multiple times at a house party before dawn on Saturday. Another victim was stabbed but survived the assault. During the college party in Northeast Maryland, an argument broke out at the party in which one person left the house and returned with a knife. 

The three men involved in the stabbing were 'neighborhood boys' who were not invited to the party. They had been asked to leave shortly before the incident took place.

The three suspects will likely face murder charges. None of the men yet have attorneys.
