      ELKHART, Ind. -- A woman is facing murder charges in the death of her husband, who died early Saturday morning following a stabbing, according to police.

      Elkhart Police were dispatched to the 300 block of W. Jefferson Street at 5:30 a.m. Saturday to investigate a stabbing.

      When they arrived, officers found 33-year-old Jimmie Gillam with serious injuries. He was taken to the hospital where he died of his injuries, police said.
