It is alleged that the woman went to a local tavern and asked her boyfriend (suspect) to go home with her. Upon arrival at the house, the couple apparently started to fight, which resulted in the victim being stabbed in the upper body with a sharp object. The suspect allegedly fled the scene into nearby bushes.
