MESA - While asking for help from a 911 emergency operator, a woman was fatally stabbed by her live-in boyfriend, according to police.
Dorothy M. Lee, 43, and Alfred Lewis, 45, were arguing Monday morning in their home in the 1100 block of East Jarvis Avenue when Lee ran across the street to call 911 on the neighbor's portable phone.
Lewis followed her and the couple got into a physical dispute, according to Detective Tim Gaffney, a Mesa police spokesman.
"While she was on the phone with 911, she was stabbed. The male subject then retreated to his residence. He had self-inflicted stab wounds," Gaffney said. Lee was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Lewis was hospitalized in stable condition.
Lewis will be booked on suspicion of first-degree murder upon his release, Gaffney said.
