Last Friday, it is reported that a 17 year old girl died during what appears to be a domestic violence dispute.  Police say that the teenager was stabbed to death during the afternoon hours in a complex located near 25^th Avenue and Glenrosa. 

Police say that the young girls and her 26 year old boyfriend got into a physical fight.  During the altercation, the boyfriend supposedly grabbed a knife and stabbed his girlfriend.

The 17 year old tried to defend herself and police report that a 31 year old even tried to stop the fight.  The woman suffered minor cuts while trying to help the girl and then finally fled the apartment to call police for help. 

Officers say that the girl died as a result of her multiple knife wounds.  Her boyfriend was also rushed to the hospital where he also died.

Last month a Mesa, Arizona ex-con attacked his girlfriend after she refused to talk with him about their relationship. She had earlier discussed leaving him and in a fit of anger, he attacked her with a coffee pot then began slashing her with a box cutter.

Police were called to the scene after the woman escaped to a nearby apartment with her four-year-old daughter, who unfortunately had to witness the attack. Forty-seven year old Craig Vanderbeck was arrested a short time later that same afternoon.

The girlfriend survived the attack after surgery and will recover. Vanderbeck had previously served two years in prison in 2002 for another aggravated assault conviction.
