A teenager has been arrested in California after she reportedly claimed on social media to have stabbed to death her boyfriend during a domestic dispute. Nakasia James had been sought for questioning in the stabbing death of 21-year-old Dorian Powell in San Bernardino on January 11 2016.  Local media reported that police had been searching for the 18-year-old after learning of a posting that was reportedly posted on her Facebook page.

It read in part: “Last night, my ex was drunk … was fighting me… hit me in the face… and I get the knife and stabbed him. Didn’t think I would hurt him. Sorry, lord, hopefully you forgive me, and sorry, Dorian Powell. RIP.” Ms James was taken into custody by Hemet police after officers responded to a tip, Lt Rich Lawhead, of the San Bernardino Police Department, told ABC News.
