Woman Stabs Boyfriend in Domestic Dispute
Los Angeles: Los Angeles police have arrested a woman who murdered her live-in boyfriend yesterday afternoon in South Los Angeles.
Just before 4:30 p.m., Reginald Wilson, 44, and Elizabeth Shields, 52, were involved in a heated argument at their residence in the 5200 block of south Van Ness Avenue. The dispute turned violent when Shields picked up a kitchen steak knife and brutally stabbed Wilson in the chest, authorities said.
After the victim staggered to the living room area where he subsequently collapsed, the suspect called 911and waited for police to arrive.
Paramedics rushed the victim to a local hospital where he died of his injuries, and Shields was taken into custody and charged with murder. Her bail was set at $1 million.
Both the victim and the suspect have been involved in an ongoing feud, investigators said.
Anyone with information is asked to call South Bureau Homicide Detectives Roger Guzman and Eric Crosson at 213-485-1383. After hours and on weekends, please call the 24-hour Detective Information Desk at 1-877-LAW-FULL (529-3855).
