GREELEY, Colo.—A northern Colorado woman has been arrested in the fatal stabbing of one man and the wounding of another at her home in what she said was an attempted burglary.
The Weld County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday that 48-year-old Karen Cordova of Erie was arrested on charges of second-degree homicide and attempted second-degree homicide. She is being held in the county jail without bond.
Authorities say 40-year-old Stephen Erickson of Erie drove to a friend’s home after he was stabbed. The Greeley Tribune reports that Erickson is in critical condition in a Lafayette hospital.
Authorities say they found the body of a second man at Cordova’s house while investigating Erickson’s stabbing. They say she told them the two men broke into her house where she grows medical marijuana.
