Stabbing victim dropped off at Citrus Heights fire station dies, ex-boyfriend arrested
CITRUS HEIGHTS – The ex-boyfriend of a woman who was stabbed and brought to a Citrus Heights fire station for medical help is accused of her murder, police said Thursday.
Citrus Heights police identified the suspect as 30-year-old Kyron Jamar Mason from Sacramento. He had turned himself in at the Sacramento County Jail.
Mason is accused of violently stabbing his former girlfriend while she was sitting in a car parked in front of a residence where she worked Thursday morning.
Police said family members drove the 28-year-old victim to Sacramento Metro's Fire Station 21 on Greenback Lane, about a mile from the attack, and arrived around 10:15 a.m. The family told firefighters the woman was injured and in the car.
Crews provided aid to the woman and she was taken to the hospital, where she later died, police said.
Mason is facing a murder charge and is ineligible for bail.
CBS13 reviewed Mason's criminal record which includes an extensive domestic violence history, including arrests in Sacramento County. He was on parole at the time of the attack, according to court records.
Citrus Heights police say the victim was recently granted a restraining order against Mason and that he is the restrained party in multiple orders protecting other victims.
