An 18-year-old South Jersey man is being charged with aggravated manslaughter in the stabbing death of his neighbor, a 51-year old corrections officer.
The incident was the result of an ongoing feud between neighboring families -- that of the suspect, Zachary Latham, and the victim, William Durham, Sr.
