18-Year-Old Placed on Life Support After Stabbing at Houston Apartment

Houston police are investigating the attack, withholding identities with charging decisions still undecided.

Overview

  • Officers found an 18-year-old woman stabbed in the temple at The Vintage at 18th Street and she was taken to a hospital in critical condition and put on life support.
  • The fight began after a pool party and escalated from a parking-lot fistfight to a confrontation inside a second-floor apartment, police said.
  • A woman in her early 20s who lives at the complex remained at the scene, spoke with investigators, and was reported to be in custody and cooperating.
  • Houston Fire Department paramedics treated the victim on site before transporting her to the hospital and neighbors helped at the scene after she collapsed.
  • Police continue to investigate the case and have not released names or said whether charges will be filed, a development that follows other recent apartment-area stabbings in Houston raising local safety concerns.
