A 56-year-old woman was arrested Thursday in connection with the stabbing death of a Denver man this week.

Samantha Shults was taken into custody on suspicion of first-degree murder, Denver police said on social media.

Police had responded just after midnight Wednesday to a stabbing report in southeast Denver. The victim, a man, was taken from the 8400 block of East Hampden Avenue to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Shults and the victim lived together, police said, and the two allegedly had an altercation that ended with the victim dead.

Formal charges will be determined by the district attorney’s office.
