A woman has been charged with murder after allegedly stabbing a man in a domestic incident.

Alan Smith, 50, was found suffering from a stab wound inside a residence in the 2300 block of Hartford St., SE early Saturday morning. Smith was taken to the hospital where he died from his injuries.

Police then charged 42-year-old Lakisha Young with second-degree murder while armed. Police said the incident was domestic, but did not disclose the nature of Young and Smith’s relationship. Young is expected to be presented in D.C. Superior Court Monday afternoon.
