UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash.—Authorities say a pregnant woman was found fatally stabbed in a Tacoma suburb and an Amber Alert was issued for her missing 9-month-old daughter.
The Pierce County, Wash., sheriff's department said late Monday night that officers were searching for 23-year-old Joseph Lester, the slain woman's ex-boyfriend.
The News Tribune reports neighbors say a man dropped the 21-year-old victim off Monday evening at a duplex. They say she yelled, "He's killing me" as she got out of the vehicle.
The woman, whom authorities did not immediately identify, died in the kitchen of the home.
The woman's says a 2-year-old son inside the home was not hurt. He has been placed in protective custody.
The newspaper says court records indicate Lester has been convicted of first-degree robbery and first-degree theft.
