A woman accused of stabbing her ex to death after seeing him with another woman ran up to police and screamed: ‘Please help him! He jumped on my knife!’
Shaniqua Alexander, 28, knifed Jermaine Renix, 46, at a Motel 6 in Milwaukee on June 18, then ran up to cops with the bizarre excuse when they arrived on the scene, it is claimed.
Officers found Renix laying in the shower with a small knife wound on his chest.
The victim’s breathing was labored, with cops and firefighters attempting to perform life-saving measures.
Renix later succumbed to his injuries, with a coroner ruling he’d died of a stab wound to the chest, Fox6 reported.
Alexander is said to have flown into a rage on June 17 after she spotted Renix with another woman while out driving.
She called him and told him she didn’t want to see him, prompting Renix to show up at the motel room where she was living, it is claimed.
What to do if you see a homeless person struggling in the heatwaveAlexander told cops they began to argue and ‘tussle’, and said that Renix ‘bumped’ into her knife during that tussle.
She said he got into the shower to wash off the blood, and that she called 911.
During that call, Renix can be heard moaning in the background, with Alexander screaming ‘You’re not dying. Shut up.’
Shaniqua has been charged with second-degree reckless homicide, and use of a dangerous weapon.
She made her first appearance in court June 22, and is being held on $50,000 bond until her next appearance July 2.
