Point’s bond raised to $1M in gang stabbing

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A judge today agreed to increase the bond for a Wilmington man wanted in connection to what investigators say was a gang-related stabbing.

Antonio Point is now in jail under $1 million as he waits for a new trial date of March 28, according to a spokeswoman for the District Attorney. Point is charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon with attempt to kill in the 2014 stabbing of Edvis Galloway, who investigators say was a rival gang member.

In November, Point’s brothers William and Adrian pleaded guilty to various charges and were sentenced to prison in connection with the stabbing. Antonio Point was out on bail awaiting the court appearance, but investigators say he cut off his ankle monitor and disappeared.

New Hanover County Jail records show Antonio Point was booked in on Dec. 26 and had been held under $750,000 bond.
