A Concord woman is in custody after being charged with the murder of her 22-year-old niece, concluding a tragic New Year’s Eve incident that began as a domestic dispute. According to authorities, the conflict escalated into violence at a residence on Coventry Commons Avenue. WBTV reported that officers responding to the call—received at approximately 12:48 a.m. yesterday—discovered a woman deceased from what appeared to be stab wounds.
The 41-year-old aunt, Sunsharay Coulbourne, was arrested on the spot by Concord police and has been charged with first-degree murder in the wake of the event. As detailed in the report by WCNC, Coulbourne is being held without bond at the Cabarrus County Jail.
The identity of the young victim has not yet been released by the officials, pending notification of next of kin. The Concord Police Department, committed to maintaining the integrity of the investigative process, continues to examine the circumstances of the stabbing, though initially motivated by a domestic dispute as suggested by early evidence.
In her first court appearance scheduled on Friday, Coulbourne will face the legal system to answer for the accusations lodged against her. "Coulbourne is charged with First Degree Murder and is currently being held in the Cabarrus County Jail without bond," verified WCCB Charlotte. The ongoing investigation aims to unravel the full narrative behind the altercation leading up to the fatal stabbing.
