A deadly late-night domestic call on North Roselawn Street in Pontiac has left a woman dead and a Pontiac man behind bars in the Oakland County Jail, after deputies say they found his father's girlfriend suffering from multiple stab wounds yesterday.
Deputies say the woman was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later. The man, who was found inside the home, was arrested at the scene while investigators began combing through the house for evidence.
What deputies say
According to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched shortly after midnight when the victim's boyfriend called 911 and reported finding her on the bedroom floor with severe injuries. She was transported to an area hospital, where she later died.
The suspect, who deputies say was still inside the residence, was taken into custody without further incident. Investigators recovered a knife believed to have been used in the stabbing, and the sheriff's office expects to submit the case to prosecutors for possible charges tomorrow, according to CBS News Detroit.
Arrest and evidence
Officials transported the suspect to the Oakland County Jail, where he remains in custody pending prosecutorial review. "Officers also confiscated a knife that is believed to have been used in the altercation," the report said, and investigators continue to process the scene and interview witnesses.
The initial report did not publicly identify either the victim or the person in custody, in line with standard practice while the investigation is still in its early stages, per CBS News Detroit.
What happens next
Once investigators complete their evidence collection and witness interviews, the case file will be sent to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office for review and a decision on potential charges and arraignment, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office. Prosecutors will determine what formal counts, if any, to file.
Anyone with tips or information related to the case is urged to contact the sheriff's office (non‑emergency dispatch: 248‑858‑4950; inmate information: 248‑858‑1800), per the Oakland County Sheriff's Office website. Both the prosecutor's and sheriff's online pages also list resources for crime victims and the general public.
The investigation remains active, and sheriff's detectives say they are asking anyone with information to come forward. This story will be updated when prosecutors announce any charges or when the sheriff's office releases additional details.
