CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- Charlotte homicide detectives are investigating what police are calling a tragic accident.
Officers were called to an apartment on Flagstaff Drive around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday for a reported stabbing.
Police say Miguel Angel Rivera Lemus of Charlotte was running errands with his common-law wife. They stopped at the apartment to pick something up, and accidentally locked their car keys and their two young children in the car.
Lemus went into the apartment and grabbed a butcher knife to try and pry open the car window. As he was going down the stairs out of the apartment, he fell on the knife, stabbing himself in the chest.
He was able to crawl back into the apartment and told his wife to call 911. Lemus was taken to Carolinas Medical Center where he later died.
