BALTIMORE, MD — A 25-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection with a fatal stabbing that occurred early Sunday in the city’s Northeast District, according to the Baltimore Police Department.
Karin Redfern was taken into custody June 1 following the death of 26-year-old Demetri Briscoe. Investigators allege Redfern was involved in a physical altercation with Briscoe that led to the stabbing.
The incident began around 2:04 a.m. in the 3000 block of Westfield Avenue, where police responded to a report of an armed person. Officers located signs of a crime scene but no victim at the location.
Shortly afterward, authorities were alerted that a man suffering from a stab wound had arrived at a nearby hospital. Despite emergency medical efforts, the victim — later identified as Briscoe — was pronounced dead.
Redfern was transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility, where she was charged with first- and second-degree murder.
