MARTINEZ — A 36-year-old Martinez mother is facing a felony murder charge in connection with the stabbing death of her 19-year-old daughter, prosecutors said Friday.
Brittney Kazee is also charged with an enhancement alleging she used a knife to commit the offense, according to the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office.
Officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 100 block of Fig Tree Lane around 1:40 p.m. Tuesday for a report of a fight between two women. They arrived to find Kazee’s daughter, Shaniyah Kazee, unconscious with a wound to her stomach.
Shaniyah Kazee was taken to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, where she died from her injury.
Officers, meanwhile, arrested Brittney Kazee in connection with the fatal stabbing.
Brittney Kazee will be arraigned on the charges Monday in Martinez, prosecutors said. She remains in custody at the Martinez Detention Center on a $1 million bond.
