In regards to the homicide that took place on Saturday, August 9th, here is the statement from Baltimore City Police Department Southern District Major Ian Dombroski:
We had a homicide which occurred inside a home in the 1500 block of Marshall Street late Saturday night. A 42-year-old woman was stabbed in the back. She, along with others appeared to be squatting inside the home after home owner passed away several months ago. There also was apparently a level of drug use occuring inside the home. I will keep you updated as the investigation progresses.
Update:
The boyfriend finally confessed to killing the female. There was apparently an argument over doing the dishes. The case is closed and the suspect is under arrest.
