On April 16, 2021, at about 7:30 p.m., Sheriff's deputies responded to 2200 Dain Court in Lemon Grove for a domestic incident with a male and a female reportedly arguing. When deputies arrived, they heard screaming inside the residence and forced entry when nobody answered the door. Inside, deputies found an adult male and an adult female. Both had been stabbed.  

The male and the female were transported to a local area hospital. Unfortunately, the female was pronounced deceased shortly after arriving at the hospital. The male underwent surgery and is expected to survive.    

The Sheriff's Homicide Unit responded and has assumed responsibility of the investigation.
