PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A Kalamazoo woman is charged with murder in the death of a Portage man earlier this week.
21-year-old Iyanna Marie Colon was charged with one count of open murder in the death of 25-year-old Maan Alblowi, during her arraignment in Kalamazoo County District Court Thursday, January 20.
Detectives said they found Alblowi’s body inside a closet of his apartment at the Briargate Apartment complex in Portage Tuesday morning, January 18, after Colon went to Portage Department of Public Safety Headquarters to report the death.
Colon told investigators she and Alblowi got into a fight Monday over loud music. During questioning, she explained to investigators that the fight escalated and the 25-year-old charged at her and eventually started choking her. Colon indicated to police that she was in a life or death situation that caused her to in turn choke Alblowi, who stopped breathing.
If convicted, Colon could face a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole.
