A bloody confrontation in the streets of San Antonio has left one woman dead and another behind bars, with charges of murder clouding over her. Whitney Caraway, 35, stands accused of the fatal stabbing of Amanda Newton, also 35, in what has unfolded as a grim narrative of a dispute turned deadly.
May's violent incident, which took place in the wee hours in the 1600 block of Jackson Keller Road at the Hamilton Place Apartments, found Caraway allegedly embroiled in a fiery clash that culminated in Newton's death from "sharp force injury to the neck," as the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office declaimed.
According to KSAT, the altercation occurred not far from the looping embrace of West Avenue and Loop 410.
Police summoning to the chilling scene discovered Newton, life ebbing on the ground, her body punctured by multiple stab wounds. Despite urgent calls to 911 by a witness who caught the tail end of the dispute, Newton was pronounced dead right where San Antonio's unforgiving pavement met her tragic end. "Caraway and Newton were arguing in the street," informed the witness in a statement obtained by Express News, painting a portrait of a sudden fight that ended as swiftly as Caraway fled the scene.
In her flight from the altercation, Caraway's escape was in a vehicle, but it seems that her attempt to outrun the law was futile. Caraway was apprehended by authorities on Monday while also getting slapped with a charge of driving without a valid license, a Class B misdemeanor, according to records from Bexar County Jail. Her bond, steeped at $201,500, attests to the gravity of the sobering charge laid upon her, as reported by KSAT.
