Winter Haven Detectives have arrested a man suspected of stabbing a 16-year-old to death at Publix in November.

Police say 19-year-old Teville Xavier Burgess of Lake Wales has been charged with manslaughter. Detectives arrested him on Thursday after a brief chase.

According to the initial report, the stabbing happened during a fight which broke out inside the store. Burgess initially told detectives he was jumped by an "unknown" group of people, one of whom he stabbed in self defense. But detectives said the evidence told a different story.

According to an affidavit, Burgess had exchanged a few words with that same group of people in the parking lot and gone inside the Publix where he bought a can of soup and a paring knife with a 3.5-inch blade, the latter of which, he took out of the packaging and armed himself with before he was even done purchasing it.
