A criminal complaint states, Wilson got upset and Carmona-Cartagena asking him to drive her home. During the drive, the victim told Carmona-Cartagena to get out of the car and stopped the car on Stark Street. Wilson got out of the car and the defendant followed. Upset she'd have to walk with a big bag of clothes, she took out a knife and approached Wilson in the street.
Carmona-Cartagena allegedly stabbed Wilson three times in the legs and stomach, the complaint states. Wilson fought back until he could get the knife from her and laid down in the street.
