BROCKTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A 32-year-old Fall River woman will be arraigned on a murder charge Monday after the woman she’s accused of stabbing during an apparent road rage incident in Brockton died, officials said.
Jacqueline Mendes, 32, was arrested shortly after turning herself over to police on Friday, Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz announced.
Now that the victim, Jennifer Landry, has died of her injuries, Cruz says Mendes will be arraigned in Brockton District Court on a murder charge.
Officers responding to a reported stabbing in the area of 276 Belmont St. about 3:45 p.m. Friday found Landry suffering from a life-threatening stab wound.
She was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton before being taken by helicopter to Boston Medical Center, where she later died.
A preliminary investigation suggests a traffic confrontation led to the stabbing.
