Duluth woman stabbed over a pair of pants, officials say

DULUTH, MN (AP)--   A prosecutor says a Michigan woman accused of fatally stabbing another woman in a Duluth duplex wanted the victim to bleed to death. 

Nicole Leone Revello, 29, of Marquette was charged in St. Louis County Tuesday with intentional second-degree murder.  Revello is accused of fatally stabbing Lisa Kay Davis, 46, of Duluth on Sunday.

The complaint alleges that the dispute started over some clothing that Revello took from the apartment. The Duluth news tribune reports Duluth police say the dispute was over a pair of pants.

Prosecutor Kristen Swanson told the court Revello intentionally stabbed Davis once in the back and wanted to make sure the knife was removed so that the victim would bleed to death.

Bail was set at $250,000. 

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
