Because I work at a Fortune 500 and we live in a pretty safe area of Camden, it's easy for me to forget the daily tragedies of the city, including happenings like this one below. It's a harsh reminder of the reality of our Camden neighbors. I don't yet know if the victoms are known to the Urban staff or not.

Fatal stabbing in Camden

A 19-year-old woman was stabbed to death early this morning following a domestic dispute in East Camden, authorities said.
Police were called to a house in the 200 block of S. 32nd Street at 4:30 a.m. and found the woman dead at the scene, said Jason Laughlin, spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's office.
Police found her boyfriend, also 19, seriously wounded around the corner, sprawled out on the 3300 block of Freemont Street.
Authorities are withholding the name of the woman pending notification of her family, Laughlin said. Police declined to identify the boyfriend until his role in the stabbings can be determined.
Investigators believe the couple, who had been staying with friends in the home, had argued during the night in the basement. The woman staggered up the stairs and collapsed in a doorway where she died, Laughlin said.
The man was being treated this afternoon for multiple knife injuries at a local hospital.
An investigation is continuing.
