North Carolina woman arrested in early morning Hilton Head Island stabbing

The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a North Carolina woman in connection with a stabbing that occurred early Tuesday morning on Hilton Head Island.

At approximately 1:45 a.m. on August 12, 2025, deputies responded to a villa on Folly Field Road for a reported stabbing. Upon arrival, deputies located a 25-year-old man suffering from stab wounds. The female suspect, identified as 19-year-old Kyra Honeycut of Spruce Pine, NC, along with several witnesses, remained on scene.

The investigation revealed that everyone in the villa was vacationing together from North Carolina. An argument inside the residence escalated into a physical altercation. At some point during the incident, Honeycut retrieved a knife and stabbed the victim.
