[NARRATIVE #1 on August 10, 2025]

On August 10th, 2025, at approx 0545 hrs, we were advised by dispatch of a possible domestic at [100 BLOCK] Willoughby homes. Dispatch advised there was an open line and they could hear arguing and a baby crying in the background. I along with other Commerce units arrived on scene. I proceeded to [100 BLOCK] and listened at the door for several seconds. I could here some arguing and small children that were upset. I knocked on the door and a black male, [VICTIM #1], answered. He seemed distrought and immediately started saying everything was ok and they were arguing, but were fine now.

The male was obviously in distress and as I looked past him I saw a black female, NAKIA ALMOND, moppig the floor in the living area and kithcen. She appeared to be mopping up blood. I told the male to step outside. As he did I saw he was holding something under his shirt. There appeared to be blood on his short and was very saturated. Under his shirt he was holding a towel on a wound. He started saying he scraped it on the door. I entered the residence to stop the female from cleaing up the blood and to check to see if anyone else was injured and to check the welfare of the children.

As I entered the residence, I could see smeared blood from the living area, into the kitchen. There were droplets and spatter on the floor and around the ktichen area. In the kitchen, blood was observed on the counter and cabinet. There was a blood soaked paper towel on the counter. As I was talking with NAKIA, she advised there was a knife in the sink and proceeded to try and grab it. I stopped her and moved her over to a table in the kitchen area.

I began to interview NAKIA. She was advised of her Miranda Rights and agreed to speak with me. She started her story with [VICTIM #1] getting hurt by scratching himself. I told her this was her time to tell her story and to tell the truth. NAKIA was obviously stalling and laughed nervously. She stated that they came home and had been arguing. She decided she was going to cook sausage. She stated at some point they hugged and [VICTIM #1] was accidently stabbed. When I pointed out all the inconsistencies in her story, she would try to make up soemthing to fill in the gaps. NAKIA’s story was all over the place and she never gave a consitent answer. Her body language was indiicitive of deciet. She did admit to stabbing [VICTIM #1], whether accidental or on purpose.

I stepped away for a second to check on [VICTIM #1]. I then spoke with the children. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] did shed some light on what occurred. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated NAKIA and [VICTIM #1] had argued [REDACTED BY AGENCY] said [REDACTED BY AGENCY] mother told her to go to the bedroom. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] did say [REDACTED BY AGENCY] yelled out for [VICTIM #1] to get off [REDACTED BY AGENCY] momma.

I also spoke with the residents at [100 BLOCK]. They refused to identify themselves, but did state they heard the argument, both inside and out. They also stated they heard NAKIA yelling for [VICTIM #1] to get out of the house. I returned to [100 BLOCK] and assisted officers with what ever they needed until [VICTIM #1]’s sister arrived to take the kids. Once the kids were gone, I cleared the scene.

[NARRATIVE #2 on August 10, 2025]

On 08/10/2025 officers were dispatched to [100 BLOCK] Willoughby Homes in reference to a possible domestic dispute. I responded code 1.

While en route, dispatch advised that when the call came in, the call taker could hear arguing and a baby crying. When I arrived, I went to the back of the residence while contact was attempted at the front door. I could hear officers speaking with someone at the front door and decided to go to the front. When I arrived to the front of the residence, I observed and black male, later identified as [VICTIM #1]. Mr. [VICTIM #1] had blood on his shirt and a hole in the shirt near the blood. Mr. [VICTIM #1] also seemed to be holding something under his shirt. When asked what he was holding, he advised that he scraped himself on the door. Mr. [VICTIM #1] had a towel under the shirt over top of an apparent stab wound.

Mr. [VICTIM #1] was reluctant to show officers the wound. When the wound was uncovered, I could see fatty tissue coming from the wound and he was actively bleeding. At this time paramedic were requested to respond. I also could hear Sgt. Hall asking Mr. [VICTIM #1] who was inside mopping up blood. At this time, Sgt. Hall and myself went inside the residence were a black female was seen mopping the floor. Upon entry of the home I saw a blue plastic sheath for a kitchen knife on the ground at the front door. The female was identified as Nakia Almond. I noticed that there were bright red streaks smeared on the floor and the floor appeared wet from a mop. There were also [REDACTED BY AGENCY] in the living room.

Sgt. Hall began speaking with Ms. Almond in the kitchen area. I was also in the kitchen area and noticed more blood in the kitchen. I observed a blood soaked paper towel on the counter, and blood droplets on the floor. I then motioned for Ofc. Boyer to enter the home and take the [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to a back bedroom to separate them from the situation.

Sgt. Hall advised Ms. Almond of her rights (Miranda Warning) and began to question her as to what occurred. I over heard Ms. Almond explain that she had a knife that she was going to use to cook sausage. I later checked that refrigerator and the freezer and did not locate any sausage. I also did not see any sausage on the counters or in the sink. I did observe a blue handled kitchen knife in the sink with was consistent with the sheath I saw outside the home. The knife appeared to have bright red blood on the tip of the knife.

I began to photograph the scene. I photographed blood on the floor in the kitchen, living room, hallway, bathroom, and in one of the back bedrooms. I was able to photograph blood on the bathroom door jam and door as well as the kitchen counter and the wall in the living room. I took photographs of Ms. Almonds hands and noticed a small fresh cut on her left hand close to the knuckle.

While Sgt. Hall left the room, I asked Ms. Almond if she had family nearby. She advised that she had a sister in Commerce and her mother lived in Arcade. Knowing that I would be contacted DFCS I wanted to ensure that the children would have a place to go if Mr. [VICTIM #1] was transported to the ER and if Ms. Almond was to be arrested.

I asked Ms. Almond what occurred and she advised me that she and Mr. [VICTIM #1] simply had an argument over another woman. I asked what happened to Mr. [VICTIM #1]. She advised that she did not know. She stated that she was in the bedroom and did not know that Mr. [VICTIM #1] was injured. Ms. Almond continued to speak looking at the table and she developed a nervous laugh when questioned. She continued to explain that she did not know what happened to Mr. [VICTIM #1] or that he was injured. I found this statement to be odd considering that she was attempting to mop obvious blood from the floor prior to our arrival.

Ms. Almond was then placed under arrest for Aggravated Assault (1 count), Cruelty to Children 3rd (3 counts), and tampering with evidence (1 count). Ms. Almond was cuffed behind her back. The cuffs were checked for fit and double locked. Ms. Almond was then removed from the home to be placed in a patrol vehicle for transport. When we exited the home, Mr. [VICTIM #1] shouted at Ms. Almond not to speak with us about anything. Ms. Almond was placed in Ofc. Samples patrol car for transport.

I later made contact with DFCS and advised them of the situation. Due to Mr. [VICTIM #1] being transported to the hospital and Ms. Almond being placed under arrest, contact with a next of kin was attempted. Contact was made with [REDACTED] (sister of Mr. [VICTIM #1]). Ms. [REDACTED] arrived a short time later to collect the children. I again, called DFCS to advise them that the children had been taken by Ms. [REDACTED]. I gave DFCS all pertinent information on Ms. [REDACTED]. After securing the door to the residence, it was discovered that the knife hadn’t yet been collected. The knife remains in the home.

It was later communicated to Officers that Mr. [VICTIM #1] was required to have surgury for the stab wound and that an additional wound was located on the upper arm.

[NARRATIVE #3 on August 10, 2025]

On August 10, 2025 around 0545 hours, I, Officer Echols arrived on scene at [100 BLOCK] Willoughby homes to assist other officers in an aggravated assault investigation. When I arrived, I met Sgt. Norris on the front porch who was with a bleeding male, [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] showed me a wound that was on his stomach that was actively bleeding. It appeared he had been cut with some sharp object.

I retrieved a Stop the Bleed kit from my patrol vehicle and applied two gauze pads to the wound. I had [VICTIM #1] apply pressure to attempt to slow the bleeding until the med unit arrived. [VICTIM #1] appeared intoxicated. His breath and person smelled like the odor commonly associated with alcoholic beverages.

The med unit arrived and was assisting [VICTIM #1] with his injury. I provided scene safety. Cpl. Crenshaw had placed a female in custody. At one time, [VICTIM #1] attempted to locate what patrol car the female was in and I had to stop him from wondering around the scene looking for her.

I took several photographs on the scene for Cpl. Crenshaw.
