Police hunt suspect who stabbed wife in Kenosha home

Authorities in Kenosha, Wisconsin, are searching for 33-year-old Marckus Plaza, accused of stabbing his estranged wife to death in her home while their young children were present. The attack occurred on Wednesday morning, April 1, and Plaza fled after police arrived. The victim was found with a knife in her left eye and pronounced dead at the scene.

Kenosha police responded to the home after a friend of the woman called 911, reporting that she heard Plaza getting physical with his estranged wife during a phone conversation.

Looking through a basement window, they saw him dragging a body, later confirmed to be his wife's.
