KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A woman has been charged with stabbing her live-in boyfriend to death in the first homicide of 2019 in Kansas City.
Fifty-two-year-old Carmelita Smith was charged Thursday with second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of 60-year-old Tony Carmons. Her bond was set at $100,000 cash.
Charging documents say Carmons told two a nurse and someone else that his girlfriend stabbed him in an apartment after he arrived home from work. He was rushed Wednesday night to a hospital with a chest wound and later died. Investigators found a bloody knife in a sink in the apartment.
