Police responded to the couple’s residence about 4:25 p.m. and found Nelson lying at the front door with Shakir standing over him, according to the police report.

Shakir admitted to stabbing Nelson, according to police.

Nelson was transported by medical helicopter to University of Cincinnati Hospital Medical Center, where he was later released, according to police.

The couple have two children together and there were five children present when the stabbing occurred, according to police.

Hamilton Police Officer Justin Boyd responded to the scene and took care of all five children until they could be placed by Children Services.
