Frantic 911 calls from an apparent care taker have been released days after a teen fatally stabbed a 14-year-old at a group home in Oakland Park.
14-year-old Jordan Dowdy, was fatally stabbed by Ruben Whitworth,16, Monday afternoon in the 5400 block of Northeast Third Avenue.
Both teens lived at the foster home and while they were friends, Dowdy’s mother said he told her he’d been having issues with Whitworth.
“Jordan asked him one day, ‘Ruben, would you like some mozzarella sticks?’ and he told [my son], ‘No, shut the ‘F’ up, or I’m going to stab you and kill you.’ Two weeks later, he ended up dead,” said Simpson.
Officials suspect the stabbing stemmed from a verbal and physical altercation with Dowdy.
According to the emergency call, the caretaker witnessed and broke up the fight.
