W04937800

Hill resided in an apartment with her grandmother and her grandmother’s boyfriend, Bruce Reed. On the morning of October 2, 2000, Hill and Reed began arguing, and the argument escalated into a physical altercation. During the struggle, Reed struck Hill with his fists and the receiver of a telephone, causing multiple bruises and a swollen eye. The fight ended after Hill stabbed Reed with a kitchen knife.

After the fight, Hill left the apartment and spent a brief amount of time at her mother’s residence. In the early afternoon, Hill returned to her grandmother’s apartment and started arguing again with Reed. The argument escalated into a physical altercation. After fighting for several minutes, Hill retrieved a knife and stabbed Reed numerous times. One of the stab wounds was to Reed’s heart and caused his death. 

Hill initially tried to cover up her crime by changing her clothes and lying. When other people, including her own family, told police that she had stabbed Reed, she finally admitted her guilt. Hill senselessly took the life of a man. She should not be granted any form of early release.
