SEDGWICK COUNTY — A Kansas man arrested for a fatal weekend stabbing made his first court appearance Tuesday, according to the Sedgwick County Attorney's office.
Jason McCaleb, 44, is charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of 28-year-old Devin Cook.
Just after 4a.m. Saturday, police responded to a domestic disturbance call at a residence in the 2400 Block of South Washington in Wichita, according to Police Captain Brett Allred. There was a verbal disturbance between McCaleb and his roommate Cook and no crime had been committed.
After officers left, a physical altercation occurred between the two in a dispute over how long she had lived at the residence, according to officer Charley Davidson. She had been living there for a month and McCaleb wanted her removed.
When police returned a second time, they arrested McCaleb as he left the residence and found Cook inside the home with multiple stab wounds. She was transported to a local hospital where she died.
McCaleb is being held on a $700,000 bond, according to online jail records.
