| More on this California story from a few days ago. NN2N1 found for us that Ms Montoya had been arrested a few days earlier for attacking a white woman, but was released without bail on her own recognizance. |
[KTLA] A suspect was arrested in the fatal stabbing of a woman who was walking her two dogs in the La Sierra neighborhood of Riverside Saturday morning, officials said.
Officers responded to reports of a woman down just before 7:30 a.m. in the area of Golden Avenue, just north of Stonewall Drive, said Officer Ryan Railsback, front man for the Riverside Police Department.
Responding officers found a victim, later identified as 64-year-old Ke Chieh Meng of Riverside, on the ground bleeding from her abdomen area and suffering from stab wounds, Railsback said.
The woman was taken to a local hospital where she succumbed to her wounds, police said.
Shortly after the victim was pronounced dead, the Riverside police dispatch center received reports from the victim’s neighbors regarding what they described as a transient woman walking through their yards and acting suspicious, Railsback said.
Police were able to locate and detain the woman who they later identified as Darlene Stephanie Montoya, a 23-year-old transient from Monterey Park, officials said in a news release.
A preliminary investigation revealed that Meng was walking her two small dogs along Golden Avenue Saturday morning when she was "randomly confronted and attacked by the transient woman," police said in a news release. |
