NORCROSS — Police have charged a Norcross woman with murder in the fatal stabbing of her boyfriend Sunday.

A heated domestic dispute after 3 a.m. between Tyress Malcome, 32, of Norcross, and his girlfriend, Tiquonda Campbell, 30, turned violent at the Highland Lake Apartments on Ashley Lakes Drive near Norcross.


Campbell is accused of retrieving a knife from the kitchen during the argument and stabbing Malcome. Wounded, Malcome was driven by a friend to a Doraville home on Beechwood Avenue, where the stabbing was reported to police.

“He informed officers that his girlfriend ... stabbed him in Norcross,” said Gwinnett police spokesman Cpl. Edwin Ritter.

Malcome was transported to Atlanta Medical Center where he was pronounced dead on arrival, Ritter said.

Investigators developed probable cause to arrest Campbell, charging her with felony murder and aggravated assault. The investigation continues, Ritter said.

Most people hear "domestic violence" and associate it with a man being violent towards the woman. This article shows that it is prevelent in both groups, men and women! These children now will have to live the rest of their lives with no father and an incarcerated mother. Also, I bet as a defense, this woman will claim either self-defense or battered woman syndrome. As a friend of the family, I can attest to the fact that this laid-back man tried in vain to keep his family together for the sake of the children. This woman abused him and berated him an is solely responsible for his death!
