Law Student Kills Her Man For X-Mas

Just four days before Christmas, 24-year-old Shawn Washington gave Monique Doss and her boyfriend a lift to a car rental place. Doss said Washington’s girlfriend, 24-year-old Adrienne Hickson, was not happy about it.“Adrienne was calling his cell phone. She was asking him who he was with, what he was doing, saying he was gone too long, because she was timing him,” said Doss.Hickson, a law student at Washington’s Howard University, was in town for the holidays. She and Washington had met as students four years ago at Tennessee State University.Doss said the trio returned to Washington’s apartment on Sweetwater Road in Duluth.“And he was getting in his car. He said ‘No. She needs to get out of my house before I leave’,” Doss said.Ten minutes later, he came back.“He had a very blank look on his face. And he was walking very slowly. He had his jacket draped over the left side of his shoulder. And he just walked to the car. My boyfriend asked him, ‘Where did all that blood come from?’ And he slumped in the car and said ‘She stabbed me, she stabbed me’,” Doss said.Doss and her boyfriend rushed Washington to the hospital where he underwent several surgeries.In the days after Washington was stabbed, police said they couldn’t find Hickson. It turned out that she had returned to her family’s home in South Carolina. She came back to Atlanta on Christmas night to visit Washington in the hospital. When she got there, she found out that he had just died.Police say Hickson collapsed at the hospital. Police took her into custody. She remains in jail charged with her boyfriend’s murder.Bail has not been set for Hickson. She is under suicide watch at the Gwinnett County Jail.Washington's funeral will be held in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tenn., on Monday
