She and friends helped carry the victim inside after believing that he had passed out from having too much to drink. The Medical Examiner at autopsy found a small puncture wound to Arguello-Zacarias’ chest/heart. Subsequent investigation, led by Detective Phillip Box, revealed that the victim and Jimenez-Hernandez had been involved in an altercation, during which, according to witnesses, Jimenez-Hernandez stabbed Arguello-Zacarias with a screwdriver.
