Baltimore Man Arrested In Woman's Stabbing Death

BALTIMORE (WJZ/AP) -- Police have arrested a Baltimore man in the stabbing death of  a 28-year-old woman near downtown.

There is no word on a motive in this case.

Baltimore police say they arrested 52-year-old Michael McCarthy on Thursday and charged him with first-degree murder. It's not clear whether McCarthy has an attorney.

McCarthy is accused of killing 28-year-old Tieisha Wilson, who police found bleeding from at least one stab wound on Wednesday night after they responded to a call about a disturbance in the 800 block of Harford Court. Wilson was pronounced dead soon after.

Detectives located McCarthy at a home at Federal Street. They noticed blood on his hands and shirt. He was quickly apprehended.
