The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office identified a 42-year-old woman as the person fatally stabbed Sunday in east Vancouver.
Dolores Jones of Vancouver died from multiple stab wounds to the torso, the medical examiner’s office said Friday. Jones’ manner of death was ruled a homicide, meaning it resulted from another person’s deliberate action. The ruling does not make any judgments about criminal culpability.
Vancouver police were called about 7:45 p.m. to a disturbance in the 1000 block of Southeast 160th Avenue in the Cascade Highlands area. Callers reported that a man had stabbed a woman and himself. Police said the man and woman knew each other.
Officers provided Jones medical aid, but she died at the scene. Officers also treated the man, who was later taken to an area hospital. He remained hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, police spokeswoman Kim Kapp said Monday.
Police have not released the man’s identity.
