An 18-year-old woman is on life support after she was stabbed in the head during an argument that escalated at a northwest Houston apartment complex Thursday morning, according to Houston police.
The stabbing happened around 1 a.m. at an apartment complex in the 1700 block of Seaspray Court.
Investigators said the victim and a 20-year-old woman had attended a pool party earlier in the day along with several friends. After returning to the apartment complex, the two women began arguing over a boy.
According to police, the argument turned into a fistfight before the confrontation initially ended.
Authorities said the 20-year-old suspect then went inside her downstairs apartment. However, the victim followed her into the apartment, where the fight resumed.
During the second altercation, police said the victim was stabbed in the temple.
After being injured, the woman ran out of the apartment and into the parking lot before collapsing. Neighbors came to her aid and called for help.
Houston Fire Department paramedics transported the victim to a nearby hospital, where she remains in critical condition and has been placed on life support, police said.
The 20-year-old suspect, who lives alone in the apartment where the stabbing occurred, is in custody and cooperating with investigators.
As of Thursday morning, no charges had been announced.
