According to police, the altercation happened at the Regency Apartments in the 9800 block of Shallow Creek Loop. Just before 11 a.m., officers responded to the apartment building for a report of an adult woman injured.

When officers arrived in the area, they found Marshall in front of the building suffering from a stab wound in her neck.

First aid was provided, police said, and fire and rescue personnel were able to assess her condition. Marshall was then transported to a local hospital where she succumbed to her injuries and died.

As police searched a nearby apartment, investigators discovered the suspect was identified as the victim's son and the incident was determined to be a domestic dispute.

A witness called police later in the day and said they spotted Wilds walking along train tracks near Bristow Road. Officers went to the area, found Wilds and arrested him without any issues.

He's being charged with murder and stabbing in commission of a felony and is being held without bond in prison.
