Benton County Prosecutor Karen Woodley said Beal attacked and stabbed Maddix several times in the back seat of a car after making racially derogatory remarks to Maddix.
Maddix later bled to death in the car when his friends had to stop on the way to help to repair a tire that Beal allegedly slashed.
