During the argument, the man reportedly assaulted and strangled the woman before stabbing her. He then allegedly got into a vehicle and fled the scene.
During the incident, there were two teenagers home. One of the teens attempted to call 911 to report the incident, but authorities said the other woman at the house tried to get the phone and prevent the call to police.
That woman, identified as a 33-year-old from Shelton, was arrested and charged with interfering with an emergency call. She was released on a $1,000 bond and is due in court on May 3.
