OGDEN, Utah — A woman was killed Thursday after allegedly being stabbed by her son in Ogden.
Police were called just after 1 p.m. to reports of a disturbance in the 1400 block of Washington Boulevard. When officers arrived, they found the 48-year-old woman with critical injuries that police said were "consistent with a knife assault."
The victim, later identified as 48-year-old Jennifer Martinez, was transported to a local hospital, where she died from the injuries she suffered.
Her son, 25-year-old Alec Conrad Martinez, was at the location when police arrived and was taken into custody. He was later booked into jail, facing charges of aggravated murder and disarming a police officer.
