ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A domestic dispute led to a stabbing that killed a woman in Northwest Albuquerque late Friday night.

Officers responded to a call at 11:15 p.m. from the Sandia Village apartments near Prospector Way and McMahon Blvd. NW. By the time they arrived, officers learned the victim, 18-year-old Reina Aragon, had been taken to the hospital, where she died of her wounds.

After questioning those present at the apartment complex who witnessed the attack, officers put together a timeline that led to Ashlynn Battle, 20, being charged for the crime.

Battle and her boyfriend Jason Clifford went to a nearby fast food restaurant to confront Clifford’s ex-girlfriend and his roommate. A fight broke out between the two men.

Clifford and Battle then went to the apartment complex, where Clifford said he found his tires slashed and suspected either Aragon or his roommate was responsible.

Battle claimed to detectives that witnesses saw Aragon damaging Clifford’s pickup truck. Battle then said she was sitting in a car when Aragon approached and tried to hit her through the passenger window. Battle said she armed herself with a folding knife and stabbed Aragon, who was unarmed.

Aragon got into another vehicle that Battle said Clifford attacked with a baseball bat. The female driver of that vehicle was able to get away and take Aragon to the hospital.

Battle has been charged with an open count of murder. Clifford has not yet been charged with any crimes.
