In a disturbing incident outside a Baltimore strip club, a 21-year-old woman was arrested nearly three weeks after allegedly pepper-spraying another woman and stabbing her multiple times.
De’Siya A. Parker, now facing multiple felony charges including attempted murder, was taken into custody on June 9, following the violent attack on May 25.
The Violent Incident Outside Club Pussycat
According to the Baltimore Police Department, the attack occurred around 12:45 a.m. on May 25 outside the Club Pussycat, located on East Baltimore Street.
Officers were already in the area performing a routine business check when they witnessed a physical altercation between Parker and the 35-year-old victim.
The police, with the help of bystanders, intervened and separated the two women. Initially, no weapons were found on either of them after they were searched.
However, as the situation calmed down, Parker reportedly uttered the chilling words, “Someone going to die tonight.” Authorities noted that at that moment, they did not observe Parker carrying any weapons, and she was seen walking away from the scene.
The Return and Attack
Later that evening, Parker reportedly returned to the scene while the victim was outside talking to a man employed at the club. The victim was conversing with him when Parker allegedly walked by, stared at the victim, and pulled out a can of pepper spray.
The two women got into another physical altercation, but this time, Parker reportedly sprayed the victim in the face with the pepper spray.
As the victim fell to the ground, Parker allegedly pulled out a pocketknife and stabbed her multiple times, injuring her in the lower back, wrist, and shoulder. The victim was then rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The Pursuit of Justice
After the attack, Parker fled the scene on foot. A braided wig, later identified as belonging to Parker, and a pocketknife were found at the scene. Investigators later discovered that Parker had attempted to buy a pocketknife earlier in the day at a local store but was turned away due to her erratic behavior.
It was later confirmed that she successfully purchased the weapon from another nearby store, Stop 1 Grocery Plus.
Surveillance footage from a nearby restaurant captured Parker pepper-spraying and then stabbing the victim. The footage played a crucial role in the investigation, leading to Parker’s eventual arrest.
Arrest and Charges
Parker was taken into custody and transported to the Central Booking Intake Facility. She is currently facing several felony charges, including attempted first-degree and second-degree murder, assault, and reckless endangerment.
Authorities continue to investigate the incident, and Parker remains in custody as of Thursday afternoon.
This violent attack outside a strip club highlights a disturbing pattern of escalating aggression and potential premeditated violence. De’Siya Parker’s chilling actions and the extent of the victim’s injuries have shocked the local community.
As the case moves through the legal system, authorities are working to ensure that justice is served for the victim of this brutal assault.
