A 28-year-old mother of three was fatally stabbed Monday in a confrontation outside the family's home in Hemet.
Shawna Weems was attacked at about 12:30 a.m. Monday after she confronted a man and woman who were doing drugs outside her children's bedroom window, family members said. Her husband said she only asked the people to move away from her family's home.
An argument ensued, and the woman pulled out a knife. Weems' husband was on his way out of the house when he encountered a horrific scene.
"Just imagine if that was your wife or your daughter, and that got taken from you like that," said husband Cody Weems. "How could you live with yourself with who you are? How could you stay out there like this without turning yourself in?"
