A woman is in police custody on suspicion of fatally stabbing a man in Boyle Heights during what police said was a possible domestic dispute, the Los Angeles Police Department reported Friday.
LAPD officers from the Hollenbeck Division responded to an assault with a deadly weapon report at 10:44 p.m. Thursday at 323 North Soto St. between Cincinnati and Folsom streets. When officers arrived at the scene, they learned the woman, 30 to 35 years old, was engaged in a verbal confrontation with the 35- to 40-year-old suspect and allegedly stabbed him multiple times with a sharp object — possibly a pair of scissors, an LAPD spokesman told City News Service.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics.
Police arrested the woman at the scene. It was not immediately known what, if any relationship exited between the suspect and the victim.
