The Philadelphia man who is allegedly responsible for stabbing a crew member on Nicki Minaj‘s upcoming tour, resulting in his death, has been charged.

According to the Associated Press, Pierce Boykin was officially charged with murder earlier today, after stabbing 29-year-old Devon Pickett two weeks ago.

The site reports:

Boykin was originally charged with attempted murder in the stabbing of the man who was wounded. Clark says the murder charge was tacked on after additional evidence pointed to Boykin for both stabbings.

Boykin is in custody, and an attorney for him could not be reached to comment on the charges.

Pickett was with another member of Nicki’s tour, Eric, who was also stabbed during the incident, but managed to survive the attack. He was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds to his left side.

We are keeping the loved ones of Devon Pickett in our prayers during this tragic time.
