According to charging documents, Wilson was trying to break up with Doughty. A text message conversation led to a physical fight, during which Doughty stabbed Wilson.
Wilson died from her injuries, officials said.
Thessa Burke said she knew Wilson, calling her a "good girl" who didn't deserve to die.
"You come back to your old hood to see old friends and you hear about this happening, that girl did not deserve this," Burke said.
Another area resident told WJZ off-camera Wilson left behind a young child.
The first weekend of 2021 saw six shootings and the deadly stabbing. In total, there were three homicides over the weekend.
No arrests have been made in the other two homicides.
City Council President Nick Mosby addressed the violent start to the new year.
"We have to do a much better job at providing opportunities for our young folks, and that's what we are going to be focused on," Mosby said.
Doughty was featured in the HBO Max film for her skills on a dirt bike.
