Baltimore police have charged a woman with murder following a dispute that ended in the fatal stabbing of her husband inside a Johns Hopkins hospital room Friday afternoon.
Anita Nicole Jones, 30, was arguing with her husband, 33-year old Christopher Yancey Sr., while they waited for a procedure to be completed on their son, police said.
They said Jones emerged from the room and told hospital staff that Yancey had cut himself.
Staff members found the man with lacerations on his upper body. They treated him, but he was pronounced dead soon afterward.
Police said they concluded that the injuries were not self inflicted.
Jones, who had left the hospital before police arrived, was apprehended on Saturday and charged with first-degree murder.
Authorities said they have no motive outside of a dispute.
“This was an isolated incident and at no time were patients, staff or other visitors in danger,” Kim Hoppe, a hospital spokeswoman, said in a statement. “We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of the deceased.”
