Officers responding to a cardiac arrest call at 3421 Glasson St. on Feb. 26 found Carolyn Hemingway, 62, dead and her 4-year-old grandson wounded, police said.
An autopsy found 26 stab wounds on Hemingway's face, neck, chest and abdomen and what appeared to be defensive wounds on her arms. The stab wounds severed some major arteries, punctured a lung and damaged her liver, stomach and pancreas, according to the autopsy report.
Treyvon Evans, 17, who is Hemingway's grandson and is the older brother of the 4-year-old, was charged with murder and attempted murder in the case.
Investigators haven't commented on a motive, saying only that the stabbings followed an argument.
