WASHINGTON - A D.C. man pleaded guilty to charges in the fatal 2021 stabbing of a woman who was fighting with his girlfriend. 

Christian Monge, 26, pleaded guilty on Sept. 13 to voluntary manslaughter while armed after 30-year-old Brittanie Clark, a mother of three, was stabbed to death. 

Police say Clark was killed in the Fort Totten neighborhood on Aug. 31, 2021.
