Formal charges have been filed against two women accused in the stabbing of a man during a Facebook Marketplace transaction in Trussville.<\/p>\n
Trussville police Thursday night said Amirah Latrice Harris, 28, of New York, and Kyarra M. Bastian, 22, of Massachusetts, are charged with attempted murder, first-degree robbery, and reckless endangerment.<\/p>\n
Both are being transferred to the St. Clair County Jail where they will be held without bond, said Trussville Lt. Clint Riner.<\/p>\n
Trussville police shortly before 11:45 a.m. Tuesday received a 911 call from a residence on Mack Roper Road. The male caller told dispatchers he had been stabbed by two people. The victim was able to give dispatchers a physical description of his attackers, as well as their vehicle.<\/p>\n
A lookout bulletin was issued, and police spotted a vehicle matching the BOLO description on Sample Drive traveling north into downtown Trussville. Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver refused.<\/p>\n
The suspect vehicle passed several safe locations to pull over and accelerated in an attempt to evade officers, Riner said. Trussville police initiated a pursuit because the suspects were wanted in a violent felony, and the chase lasted about 1 miles.<\/p>\n
The pursuit ended when the suspect vehicle veered off the roadway and crashed on the railroad tracks behind Golden Rule Bar-B-Que. Harris and Bastian were taken into police custody, and an 18-month-old girl in the vehicle with them was taken into protective custody.<\/p>\n
During the course of the investigation Riner said, detectives learned that the offenders were responding to a Facebook Marketplace ad for a 2015 Nissan Altima that was listed for sale by the victim. The altercation occurred over the vehicle, but additional details are still being investigated.<\/p>\n
The victim was transported to a hospital for treatment of his stab wounds.<\/p>\n
