West Palm Beach Man Held Without Bond in Mother’s Day Stabbing of Grandmother

Investigators cite surveillance footage and witnesses as key evidence in the case.

Overview

  • Police say the attack, reported around 1:26 p.m. on Sunday, began after a request to help carry groceries during Mother’s Day preparations.
  • Investigators allege Keo Lavar Nottage, 29, stabbed his grandmother, Mary Sigler, 74, about 11 times, then chased a teen cousin who fled and called 911.
  • Detective Lopez reports that home surveillance video and witness statements match the timeline, and officers arrived to find Nottage fighting with his cousin.
  • Sigler underwent emergency surgery at St. Mary’s Hospital and remains in critical condition in the ICU, with her prognosis unclear.
  • Nottage faces attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault charges and is jailed without bond pending an Arthur hearing, a Florida proceeding that decides probable cause and pretrial detention.
