Prince George’s County, Maryland…The Prince George’s County Police Department has charged Linda Slye, 58, a resident of the District of Columbia in connection with the homicide of her boyfriend yesterday morning on Karen Boulevard.

    Slye has been charged with first-degree murder and is currently jailed in the District of Columbia awaiting extradition back to Prince George’s County.
    
    On December 27, 2008, at approximately 1:10 a.m., Metropolitan Police (MPDC) responded to the 4900 block of A Street S.E. in Washington D.C. for the report of an unresponsive male.  Once on scene, they located the victim, Arthur Lorenzo Butler, 59, with a stab wound to his upper body.  He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.  The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit assumed the investigation after discovering that Slye and Butler both of the 4900 block of A Street S.E. attended a party in the 1500 block of Karen Boulevard in Capital Heights.  During the party, Slye and Butler began drinking and got into a verbal altercation.  During the argument she produced a knife and stabbed the victim in the upper body.  People attending the party assumed that Butler had passed out and drove him and Slye to their home in Washington D.C.
