MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A man is dead Thursday after an altercation led to a deadly stabbing at a Kroger Distribution Center. Police say the stabbing took place at the Kroger Delta Memphis Distribution Center located at 5079 Bledsoe Road just after 9 a.m. One person has been detained, but has not been identified by police. The victim's cousin identified him as Jarcoby Hopson, age 38. Hopson was a football coach whose son had just committed to University of Mississippi. She said it began with an argument over football with a coworker. “Coby got into it with a dude over football," said Tasha Watkins, the victim's cousin. "They started tussling and the man got a knife and stabbed him once in the thigh, three times in the stomach and cut his throat.” A Kroger spokesperson released a statement by email: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of an associate and tragic incident that occurred at the Memphis distribution center. We have been in contact with the associate’s family and offer our condolences to all impacted by this tragic loss. Counseling services for our associates at the distribution center have been initiated.”
