iStockphoto/Thinkstock(HOUSTON) — A Houston woman was charged with murder after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend to death with a stiletto heel at a luxury high-rise condominium.
Ana Trujillo, 44, was arrested and charged this weekend when police found her boyfriend with multiple stab wounds to the head lying on the floor of an apartment early Sunday morning, Houston police said in a news release.
Police got a call about an assault-in-progress at the apartment on the 18th floor of The Parklane building in Houston at about 3:50 a.m. Sunday. When they arrived, Trujillo answered the door and investigators saw the victim, 59, lying on the floor of the residence, according to the release.
Her boyfriend was pronounced dead at the scene, the news release said. Trujillo was detained for questioning and subsequently charged with using the spindly heel to kill him.
The release makes no mention of whether police believe Trujillo was wearing or holding the shoe during the alleged attack.
It is unclear to whom the apartment belongs. Police are withholding the victim’s name until the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences notifies his family of his death, the news release stated.
Trujillo was booked into the Harris County Jail and her bond was set at $100,000. She was no longer in custody as of Monday morning, according to the Harris County Jail website.
The county district attorney’s office is handling the case and attempting to figure out exactly what happened the night of the fatal stabbing, Harris County District Attorney spokeswoman Sara Kinney told ABC News.
Trujillo is due in Harris County District Court on Tuesday morning for a preliminary court appearance. ABC News has been unable to reach Trujillo and it’s unclear whether she has an attorney.
A woman who answered the phone at The Parklane leasing office declined to comment.
