Police are investigating a domestic stabbing incident that left a woman seriously injured in Lauderhill on Saturday night.

According to Lauderhill police, a couple got into an argument at a home near NW 12th Street and NW 58th Avenue that eventually escalated and resulted in the man stabbing the woman.

Lauderhill Fire Department arrived at a home and took the woman, whose identity has not yet been determined, to Broward Health Medical Center in critical condition.

The suspected stabber fled the scene before police arrived, but later turned himself in to Lauderhill police, police confirmed.

Police identified the stabber as Derrick Woodard, who was in a relationship with the victim at the time of the crime.

A neighbor who did not want to appear on camera told NBC6 that he was outside working in his yard when he saw the suspect come home and leave a few minutes later.

A neighbor said the woman’s daughter ran outside screaming, “He stabbed my mother,” before another neighbor called 911.

Another neighbor described the woman as a good mother and grandmother and as someone who worked hard and kept to herself.

Woodard is being held without bail at the BSO Main Jail and is scheduled to appear in bond court on Sunday.
