Dalonte Shea Dunston, 31, and Lavitira Edmond, 29, both of Frederick, are facing multiple assault and other charges for their roles in a Waverly Drive stabbing in their hometown late last year, the Frederick Police Department announced this week.
Officers from the agency were called at approximately 4:40 p.m. on Nov. 21, 2022, to 90 Waverly Drive, where there was a reported stabbing.
According to investigators, it is alleged that a man was hit with OC spray by Edmond before being stabbed twice by Dunston before the two fled in a Honda. Their victim's dog was also stabbed in the incident.
According to the Frederick News-Post, the altercation began when Edmond got into a fight with the father of her child, during which, her brother, Dunston, got involved and stabbed him and the man's fiancee's dog.
Edmond was quickly identified as a suspect, and she was arrested two days after the stabbing and charged with first-degree assault.
Dunston had been elusive until he was recently located by members of the US Marshal Service in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
He was charged with:
- First-degree assault;
- Second-degree assault;
- Aggravated animal cruelty.
He is being held in Franklin County, Pennsylvania pending his extradition back to Frederick.
