A 26-year-old woman stabbed her 34-year-old boyfriend to death after he tried to strangle her during an argument at their South Los Angeles home.
Katrina Jeaneene Rawls was booked on suspicion of murder by L.A. police just after the incident, a police officer said. Jail records indicate Rawls is held on lieu of $2 million bail.
The woman and man were involved in an argument at their home in the 2000 block of East 114th Street, when he tried to strangle her, according to a different officer, Officer Tony Im of the LAPD‘s Media Relations Section. The fight was a little after 5:50 p.m. Saturday.
She then armed herself with a kitchen knife and stabbed him several times, Im said. Paramedics rushed the 34-year-old man to an area hospital, where he later died from his knife wounds.
The woman was booked on suspicion of murder, he said.
There was no other immediate information.
