A New Jersey man, aged 35, stands accused of fatally stabbing a 40-year-old father in front of his three young children while the father was teaching them to ride bicycles.

Last week, authorities apprehended Davon Holloman, charging him with first-degree murder, several weapon-related offenses, and three counts of third-degree child endangerment for allegedly killing Jimmy Chase, as per official statements.

Investigators revealed that the victim, Jimmy Chase, was the biological father of Holloman’s girlfriend’s children.

According to a press release from the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office, the incident occurred around 5:20 p.m. on January 8. Ewing Police Department officers were dispatched to a report of an assault at a home in the 100 block of New Hillcrest Avenue.

Upon arrival, responders found Chase in the street with multiple stab wounds to his torso. Medical personnel rushed him to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, but despite their efforts, Chase succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead early the next morning.

“The investigation revealed that Holloman was involved in a physical altercation with Chase, who is the father of Holloman’s girlfriend’s children,” prosecutors wrote in the release. “Most of the altercation was captured on a cellphone video and his three small children can be seen trying to break up the fight.”

Chase’s sister, Latoya Chase, started a GoFundMe to raise money for her brother’s funeral. The fundraising page, which had raised nearly $10,000 as of Wednesday afternoon, said the victim was “outside teaching his three sons how to ride their bikes” when he was “attacked and murdered in front of them” by Holloman, who was dating their mother.

“This senseless act has left our family devastated and his children without their loving father,” the page states. “Jimmy was a good man who played a major role in our community. He was always there to lend a helping hand, and his kindness touched everyone who met him. His loss is felt deeply by all who knew him, and the pain of his absence is immeasurable. Jimmy’s greatest joy was being a father, and he worked hard to provide a safe and loving environment for his boys.”

Authorities said the investigation into the fatal stabbing remains ongoing.
