MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Westwood-area woman has been indicted on a second-degree murder count stemming from the stabbing death of her 63-year-old boyfriend last year.

According to the Shelby County District Attorney, police were called to a home on Haas Avenue on Nov. 10, 2020, where they found Cornelius Goodlow face down on the living room floor with knife wounds to his chest and shoulder.

Goodlow died a short time later at an area hospital.

A witness told investigators that the victim had been with his girlfriend, Mitchell, all day. 

Mitchell was arrested a few days later and admitted that the stabbing happened during an argument.
