A 38-year-old Indianapolis woman faces preliminary murder charges in the strangulation death of her boyfriend early this morning, Indianapolis metropolitan police say.
Yanita Kittrell was arrested about 12:20 a.m. after officers were called to a house in the 3100 block of Thayer St., where they found Marcus Motley, 29, Indianapolis, lying facedown and unresponsive on the floor in the back bedroom, according to a news release from IMPD spokesman Anthony Schneider.
Kittrell told police that her boyfriend was passed out and not breathing, the release said.
Attempts to revive Motley were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead by Indianapolis EMS medics.
According to a report by responding IMPD Officer Justin Toussing, Kittrell was asked several times what was wrong with Motley before she admitted to grabbing a rope and putting it around Motley’s neck. An argument began when Kittrell was on the phone and Motley began “cussing her out,” Toussing said.
