A brutal stabbing in downtown Kingston has ended with two dead on Wednesday after a woman was killed in full view of bystanders and the alleged attacker was later shot dead by police.

Fifty-year-old Katherine Wallace was stabbed about 6:15 p.m. along Love Lane in an incident that was captured on video and unfolded in front of shocked onlookers, some of whom reportedly tried to shield her.

Hours later, about 11:30 p.m., police confronted the alleged attacker, Davar Dacres, at the intersection of Hanover and Beeston streets.
