A deadly stabbing inside a Ferguson home Tuesday ended with a man collapsing in the front yard and a woman detained at a nearby bus stop, according to authorities.
Police said they were called to the 400 block of Ames Place, where a man who had been stabbed inside a residence ran outside and collapsed in the yard. He was rushed to an area hospital and later pronounced dead.
Officers later took a woman into custody at a bus stop close to the scene. Investigators said the man and woman were in a relationship, although they have not publicly identified either person or detailed what led up to the stabbing. Charges have not been announced as the investigation continues.
According to KMOV, the Ferguson Police Department laid out the basic timeline in a brief statement, confirming that officers found the victim after he exited the home and that detectives later located the woman at a nearby bus stop. KMOV reports that investigators have opened a homicide investigation and were still processing the scene Tuesday afternoon.
Investigation and community response
Ferguson detectives spent Tuesday canvassing neighbors and collecting evidence at the Ames Place address while regional homicide resources were on standby to assist. Neighbors described a sustained police presence as officers worked the scene and interviewed potential witnesses.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Ferguson Police Department to help detectives piece together what happened inside the home before the victim ran outside.
What remains unclear
Authorities have not released the victim's name, the woman's identity, or whether any charges have been filed. The known timeline and description of their relationship come from the department's initial account to the media.
KMOV notes the case remains a developing story and plans to update its coverage as police release more information. We will update this report if the department issues a formal press release or public statement with additional details.
