The boyfriend of a woman who was fatally stabbed early today in Carnegie has been charged in her death.

Jeffery Allen Maloy, 26, is awaiting arraignment on a homicide charge in the death of 36-year-old Melissa Bowers.

Mr. Maloy was standing outside the apartment. Inside, they found Ms. Bowers dead.

This morning, Chief Harbin would not elaborate on why he was a suspect, but said "when the police got there, there was a conversation that led to police taking him into custody."
