A 20-year-old woman suspected of stabbing a 19-year-old man to death during a domestic violence dispute outside a Fremont fast-food restaurant over the weekend was charged for murder, officials said.

Ayah Abdallah of Fremont was arraigned Tuesday at Fremont Hall of Justice on charges of murder and being armed with a deadly weapon.

The incident unfolded Sunday when police dispatchers received reports of the stabbing about 10 p.m. outside a Burger King on the 41000 block of Fremont Boulevard, police said.

The victim, Yusuf Nawabi of Fremont, was stabbed in the stomach during the altercation, police said.

Witnesses said they believe the incident began as a domestic dispute, police said.

Police officers and paramedics quickly arrived on scene and began performing lifesaving measures on Nawabi, who died at a hospital.

Police did not comment on the nature of the relationship between Nawabi and Abdallah.

Abdallah fled the Burger King in a silver Mercedes E-Class sedan, witnesses said. A witness provided police with a partial license plate number and detailed description of Abdallah, police said.

Officers learned the registered owner of the car lived on the 38000 block of Logan Drive, nearly three miles from where the stabbing occurred, police said. When officers arrived at the house, the Mercedes was parked in front.

Police conducted surveillance on the house and arrested Abdallah when she came out and got into the car about 11:45 p.m., officials said.

A black knife with a 4 1/2 blade was found on Abdallah at the time of her arrest, police said.
