Woman's Vallejo Stabbing Attack Leaves Mother Dead, Brother Critically Injured

VALLEJO (CBS SF) -- A 49-year-old New Orleans woman is dead and her son was critically injured early Sunday morning after being stabbed by a woman police say is the female victim's daughter.

Police arrested a 26-year-old woman outside a residence in the 100 Block of Byron Street in Vallejo shortly after 8 a.m. Sunday after she allegedly stabbed her mother and her 25-year-old brother.

Both the female victim and the suspect are from New Orleans; the 25-year-old man lives in Vallejo. The man was listed in critical condition Sunday afternoon.

The stabbing suspect, arrested on suspicion of murder and of attempted murder, had suffered puncture wounds herself and was hospitalized Sunday in stable condition.

Neither of the victims' names, nor the name of the suspect, was released Sunday afternoon.

Two children of the male victim, an infant and 3-year-old, were found inside the residence. The children are now with other members of the family, police said.

Police released little other information Sunday about this killing, Vallejo's 15th of 2020.

Anyone with information about this stabbing is asked to contact Vallejo PD Detective Kevin Rose at (707) 651-7146 or Detective Jason Scott at 707-648-4531.
