GREELEY, Colo.—The Weld County district attorney has decided not to file charges at this time against a northern Colorado woman accused of stabbing and wounding one man and killing another in what she says was a burglary of her home.
The DA’s office said Thursday that 47-year-old Karen Cordova of Erie will be released from jail, but the investigation will remain open.
Cordova told police the men broke in Saturday and she fought back.
Authorities say Stephen Erickson of Erie was stabbed and remains in critical condition. They say they found the body of a second man in Cordova’s yard while investigating the stabbing.
The Greeley Tribune reports that an autopsy shows the second man, Kyle Dust, died of a gunshot wound. It was initially believed that both men were stabbed.
