Pittsburgh police arrested a 29-year-old woman Saturday in connection with a fatal stabbing in the Perry South neighborhood Friday night.

The stabbing occurred around 7 p.m. in the 2100 block of Perrysville Avenue, where police found Gerald Dwain Walker, 41, inside a home bleeding heavily from several stab wounds. He was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

Less than 24 hours later, police arrested Maneca Pressley and charged her with criminal homicide.

Officials declined to provide additional information.

Trib news partner WPXI reported Saturday that two had quarreled all day and their argument escalated into a physical confrontation. The news station also reported that Pressley told police she stabbed Walker after he lunged at her.
