BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. – Prosecutors said a woman whose boyfriend was choking her early Sunday in a Brooklyn Park home, stabbed the man to death as she clung to her five-month-old.
The woman called 9-1-1, saying she stabbed Ricardo Pates, 40, when, afraid of losing consciousness, she swung a kitchen knife in self-defense.
The woman has not been arrested while police continue their investigation.
Police said there was a history of domestic violence and Pates had choked her previously.
