Two people are dead this morning after an Indianapolis man allegedly stabbed his wife at a Southside home, then died after his car piled into a tree a few blocks away.
About 5:30 a.m., Indianapolis metropolitan police received a frantic 911 call of a woman stabbed in the 4700 block of South Rural Street. Upon arrival, IMPD officers found 44-year-old Melissa Field dead in the home.
Three small children — ranging in age from 8 to 15 — were home at the time but were not hurt, police say. WTHR (Channel 13), The Star's news-gathering partner, reports that two other children may have been in the home and witnessed the attack.
Police say Kevin Field, 51, apparently became angry and attacked Melissa Field, then left the residence and lost control of his vehicle on slick pavement about four blocks away, crashing head-on into a tree in the 4600 block of Carson, according to a news release from IMPD spokesman Kendale Adams.
Within minutes, IMPD officers received a second 911 call reporting the crash. Field was dead when police arrived, and rescue crews had to extract his body from the vehicle.
No motive for the attack was immediately available.
The couple’s children have been placed in the care of nearby family members, police say.
This DEFINITELY sucks for the children, having both parents gone (seein as how he'd be in jail if he wasn't dead), but he def.got what was comin to him
