Detroit Woman Charged With Killing Boyfriend After Birthday Party

DETROIT (WWJ) - A 56-year-old Detroit woman has been charged in the fatal stabbing of her live-in boyfriend after a birthday party.

According to police, Suber-Holmes had just celebrated her birthday at a home in the 5600 block of Casmere Street when she got into an argument with Johnson.

Suber-Holmes is due back in court on Sept. 9 for a probable cause conference, followed by a preliminary exam on Sept. 16. If convicted as charged, she faces up to life in prison.
