A 46-year-old Ypsilanti woman was jailed Tuesday after her boyfriend died after being stabbed with a large kitchen knife, police said.

Police were called to a home in the 400 block of South Huron Street at about 6:50 p.m.

They found Keith Edward Walton bleeding and unconscious but still breathing, according to a news release.

Walton was rushed to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The suspect is the victim's live-in girlfriend, investigators said.

It appears "the two were involved in an argument that turned physical and led to the stabbing," according to a news release.

The suspect was taken to the Washtenaw County Jail. Her name will be released after she's arraigned, police said.
