Canton Woman Fatally Stabbed During Argument With Relative, Police Say
CANTON, Ohio — A 32-year-old woman died after being stabbed during an argument with a female relative on the morning of July 10, according to Canton Police.
Officers responded to a 911 call at 9:35 a.m. and found paramedics treating Ayla M. Mangan in the backyard of a home on 20th Street NE. Mangan, of the 1900 block of Midway Avenue NE, had suffered a stab wound to the back and was transported to Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
