Alexis D. Simpson, has been charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder and first-degree assault. The official word is that Simpson and one of her roommates, Dominique T. Frazier, 18, got into a fierce altercation which resulted in Frazier’s death.

Reports say the fight was sparked when Simpson turned off an ipod being listened to Frazier and her friends. In reaction to Frazier and her friends raising their voices, demanding she turn the music back on, she stabbed Frazier in the neck.

In her defense Simpson is reported as saying:

“I didn’t mean to do it. Y’all don’t know what I’ve been through. You all jumped me.”

Simpson initially fled the scene during the crime, but hours later turned herself in to authorities. Police were called to the scene at about 8p.m. where they found Frazier unconscious. She was pronounced dead an hour later.

Days before Frazier’s death, her mother Denise Frazier, urged her daughter to be moved to another dorm because of previous tensions between the two. The mother recalls that the two had a falling out immediately after being placed with each other.

Hundreds of Bowie State students attended a memorial service Friday and formed an impromptu prayer circle.
