Associated Press
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Prosecutors have filed murder charges against a woman accused of fatally stabbing her daughter's college roommate in her Fort Wayne dorm room.
Tina Loraine Morris of Fort Wayne was charged Thursday with murder, felony murder, robbery and auto theft.
She is accused of killing Liette "Lola" Martinez. The 22-year-old woman from Las Cruces was found stabbed in her Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne dorm room on Friday.
Court documents say Morris told investigators the stabbing happened after she confronted Martinez about an argument Martinez had with her daughter.
Morris is being held without bond at the Allen County Jail and no court appearance has yet been scheduled.
