DA: Argument between two friends ends with one fatally stabbing the other

Steven White, 61, was ordered held without bail at his arraignment today on a murder charge for the death of his longtime friend, Nathaniel Dix, on Intervale Streetin Dorchester late yesterday afternoon, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

Prosecutors said the two men were outside White's Intervale Street home around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday when they got into a heated argument that a third person managed to break up.

Shortly after that intervention, however, White allegedly produced a knife. A witness reported that White raised the knife above his head and stabbed Dix with it, causing a fatal injury, prosecutors said. White remained at the scene and, in a post-Miranda statement, allegedly gave an account in which Dix walked or lunged into the knife, [Assistant DA Craig] Iannini told the court.

Innocent, etc.
