CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -
Charges have been filed in a fatal stabbing turned deadly car crash on the city's east side.
Kimberly Black, 29, has been charged for murder and is due in court on Monday. She's accused of fatally stabbing Sharice Swain, 29. During the stabbing, Swain pumped the gas pedal and drove into Black's home fatally striking Black's 2-year-old child. A 1-year-old child was also injured during the crash.
The horrific incident happened in the driveway of Black's home Thursday evening in the 3000 block of E.125th Street just after 9 p.m. There were four young children inside the home when it all went down, two of the four escaped unharmed.
Cleveland Police say Kimberly Black, 29, and Sharice Swain, 29, were arguing in a vehicle parked in Black's driveway when the Black went into the home and grabbed a weapon. Black returned to the vehicle and stabbed Swain multiple times causing Swain to press the gas pedal sending the vehicle forward into Black's home, hitting two of Black's children.
After the crash, Black stripped out of her clothes and fled the scene. She was later arrested in the area of East 123rd Street and Soika Avenue.
Swain was transported to MetroHealth Medical Center where she died from multiple slash wounds to her throat. Black's 2-year-old child was pronounced dead on scene and her 1-year-old daughter was transported to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital where she is expected to be released late Friday evening.
Children Family Services (CFS) reports that two uninjured children inside the home ages 3 and 9 are now in the custody of their aunt. The hospitalized 1 year old was released Friday evening and is now back with her other siblings. CFS says they are providing crisis counseling to the children and are making sure a plan is in place for the children while their mother is behind bars.
19 Action News was told by CFS that Black's kids have never been in their custody prior to Thursday's incident. However, their is an open dependency complaint.
Children Family Services say they continue to assist Cleveland Police with their investigation.
Black has now been charged with Murder. She will face a judge Monday morning.
