An early morning altercation in Atlanta turned violent when a woman was repeatedly stabbed by an ex-roommate, according to police. The grisly incident occurred at approximately 5:51 am on January 10, at a residence located at 532 Cleveland Ave. SW. Officers responded to the scene after receiving reports of a stabbing, according to the Atlanta Police Department.
Upon their arrival, law enforcement discovered a female victim suffering from multiple stab wounds. Emergency services were promptly called, and she was transported to the hospital by Grady EMS in serious condition. The suspect responsible for the attack had already fled the area before officers could apprehend them.
A preliminary investigation by Atlanta Police suggests the victim was caught in a dispute turned savage with the assailant, who is thought to be her former roommate. Details of the altercation and the motive behind the stabbing are still being pieced together by detectives.
Authorities have not yet released the identity of the suspect or the victim, and as the investigation forges ahead, law enforcement officials are working tirelessly to understand the full scope of this violent event. The search continues for the perpetrator who remains at large, and the police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
