A California woman is dead after she was stabbed with a samurai sword in the Los Angeles suburb of San Dimas in broad daylight Thursday.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the victim was attacked at around 3:30 p.m. and declared dead at the scene.
Local media reported that a domestic dispute between two women at a residence sparked the “Samurai-style sword” attack.
Officers found the suspect on the street with blood on her. She reportedly laid down the sword and directed the police to the residence where the victim was.
The relationship between the two women remains unclear as is the motive for the heinous crime.
