PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – A 23-year-old woman was arrested in the deadly stabbing of another woman at a Portland strip club.
Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson said Rinita Linelle Lowe was booked Thursday into the Multnomah County Jail on charges of murder and unlawful use of a weapon. She’ll be arraigned Friday.
Officers responded to Skinn Gentlemen’s Club on a report of disturbance and found a critically injured woman. Paramedics could not save the 29-year-old victim who died at the scene.
Simpson said club security chased Lowe to a neighboring 7-Eleven. She was arrested by police officers who were the inside the store getting coffee.
Portland has been on track to have an extremely safe 2016, with this being only the fourth homicide. The city averages about 25 homicides per year.
