Here’s Homicide Watch with what happened next: “Warren wouldn’t make room for her...when she told him it was her bed he began berating her, leading to a physical altercation on the bed. During the fight she grabbed a knife from her nightstand...[and] stabbed him.” Warren died later that night. Police arrested Cave for his death. They also questioned Cave as to why she would let him back into her home. That’s because Cave had sought a restraining order months before because Warren allegedly beat her. Here’s Cato : “A jury must decide whether a stabbing was self-defense or manslaughter.” Prosecutors argued Warren would’ve killed Cave if she didn’t kill him first... The Associated Press reported Friday that Cave was found not guilty with voluntary manslaughter.
