HOUSTON – A search warrant is providing new details on how police were able to track down a woman accused of stabbing a 17-year-old girl to death in the Galleria area in December.
Kaysone Sky Blossom, 37, is charged with capital murder in the fatal stabbing of Kayla Stevenson. Police said she was stabbed multiple times after having her designer bag stolen.
The stabbing happened on December 9, 2023 in the 5100 block of West Alabama Street at around 11:10 a.m.
The documents said a witness spoke to officers and said he saw two women fighting over a red bag. The witness said the female suspect fled south on Sage Road from West Alabama Street on a blue bicycle.
Hours before the stabbing, investigators said Blossom went to a Wal-Mart on Dunvale Road and bought the blue bicycle she was seen riding. Surveillance cameras showed her wearing a neon orange jumpsuit and a black ski mask at the store.
Houston Police found the bicycle in the 3100 block of Post Oak Blvd. An officer saw what appeared to be blood on the handlebars of the bicycle and noticed the chain was off its track, likely rendering the bicycle inoperable. The bicycle also still had a tag from a Wal-Mart store on it, according to the warrant.
But, at that time, police didn’t have much to go on.
One of the first cracks in the case came from the victim’s family. They had tracked her phone to an apartment complex on Beechnut Street and a screenshot from Find My iPhone was so specific, it helped lead investigators to the very building where it was last turned on.
That is when investigators were able to zero in on Blossom as a suspect. They learned she was out on bond for a 2021 stabbing of her ex-boyfriend. She had been caught at that scene with a taser, duct tape, handcuffs, a gas mask, a pellet gun, and pepper gas pellets.
A day before the Galleria stabbing, the warrant says Blossom hired a mover, and showed up at her ex-husband’s door with all her belongings. He is a different man than the ex-boyfriend, according to the warrant.
The mover told investigators he transported the items to the home where Blossom’s ex-husband refused to let her in. The mover agreed to keep Blossom’s items until she had a place she could drop them off at.
Blossom tried to move in again hours after the stabbing, investigators said. The mover, who investigators interviewed, described her as “desperate” when she called asking for her stuff to be re-delivered, the warrant states.
Officers found several recent calls to Blossom’s ex-husband’s address on Ardmore Street in the days leading up to the murder.
One of those calls was from December 9, the same day as the murder. During that call, the ex-husband of Blossom said she was at his door with movers trying to move back in. Documents revealed she hopped a fence trying to get in, and police ended up interacting with her just hours after the murder.
Body-worn camera from an officer who responded to the call showed Blossom wearing a white Tyvek suit, black and white shoes, a headset with an attached microphone, and a black ski mask which enveloped her head and neck, but allowed her face to be viewed.
After being forced to leave, the mover gave her a ride back to her apartment on Beechnut Street where he put a majority of her property back in the apartment, according to the warrant.
Four days after Stevenson’s death, a HPD SWAT team arrested Blossom back at her apartment.
The day after the murder, Stevenson’s mother also reported to police that her daughter’s credit card had been used. When she noticed the cards were being used, she canceled them.
The document confirms Blossom used the victim’s credit card after the fatal stabbing. She also allegedly changed the address on her PayPal account to match the victim’s before requesting money.
A judge has ordered that Blossom undergo a mental health evaluation.
