A Gates woman has been charged with murder in the stabbing death of her roommate. Police have filed second degree murder charges against 40-year-old Doris Carasquillo in the death of Kashmire Redd.
Gates Police Chief James VanBrederode says the victim was stabbed inside the apartment they shared on on Coccia Crescent at about 4:30 a.m. Redd ran outside, then collapsed on the front lawn. The victim died after being taken to Strong Memorial Hospital.
The chief said the two were in a relationship, and that it was Carasquillo who called police after the stabbing. He says this was a case of domestic violence.
