A 26-year-old Kannapolis, NC, woman has been charged with murder after an altercation between her father and boyfriend.
Emily Ann Howard, of 2118 Lynn Street in Kannapolis, was charged after Dustin Garren Lee, 17, also of Kannapolis, died from stab wounds he received during a disturbance at the home the two shared with Howard's father, according to the Rowan County Sheriff's Department.
Early Thursday morning, deputies were dispatched to the residance to investigate a reported disturbance, according to Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff's Office.
A second 911 call came in, and deputies were advised that a person had been stabbed at the same address.
Deputies were met at the scene by Howard and her father, William Dwight Howard, 54.
Emily told deputies she stabbed Lee while defending her father.
Emily and Lee were boyfriend and girlfriend, according to Sifford.
EMS and the Mt. Mitchell Fire Department treated Lee at the scene and transported him to CMC-NorthEast, where he died from the wounds inflicted, Sifford said.
Howard is in the Rowan County Detention Center under no bond.

The question is ... why does a 26-year-old woman have a 17-year-old boy for a boyfriend, anyway?
