A Hammond woman is accused of stabbing her boyfriend to death early Sunday morning.

In the early morning hours of May 19, Rockett called the police, stating that her boyfriend and roommate, 22-year-old Isaiah McCriston, was unconscious, would not wake up and there was blood all over the apartment, according to the probable cause affidavit. Once Hammond officers arrived at the scene in the 1600 block of 169th Street, they found McCriston naked, lying on his back and he appeared to be deceased.

Rockett was wearing a jacket inside out, and there was a large amount of dried blood on her clothes, face and arms. Around 7 a.m. on May 19, Rockett sat for a recorded interview at the Hammond Police Department, the affidavit states. Police said Rockett again tried to minimize her involvement in McCriston’s death. She told police the pair started arguing when they arrived home, with McCriston saying, “You don’t really love me,” records state. She said McCriston had a higher level of intoxication than usual and he started throwing items around the apartment.
