Three people are recovering after police said two of them were stabbed by a man trying to kill his ex-wife’s boyfriend. On Saturday, Jackson police arrested Edgar Hernandez, 24, who investigators said went to his ex-wife’s home on Gregg Street early Saturday morning to confront her boyfriend, with the intent to kill him. According to officers, Hernandez began stabbing the man with a knife, injuring his chest, left side, fingers and ear.
