@Tabludama,
Police say Kenya Domon Mangum, 29, stabbed his wife, Amanda Mangum, 23, in the parking lot of a KFC/Taco Bell at 1804 S. Miami Blvd. at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday. He then drove off with their three children – Brianna, Devion and Kenya Mcgruder-Mangum – ages 8, 4 and 2, respectively, police said.
"We saw him jumping on her, and now he took off in a van," a 911 caller told a dispatcher. "She's cut up pretty bad."
Amanda Mangum was taken to Duke University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Durham, N.C. — The family of a Durham man charged with killing his wife late Sunday and her family scuffled outside a Durham courtroom Tuesday morning.
Kenya Domon Mangum, 29, was indicted Monday on a murder charge in the stabbing death of Amanda Mangum, 23.
Police said Kenya Mangum attacked his wife in the parking lot of a KFC/Taco Bell at 1804 S. Miami Blvd. late Sunday and then drove off in a van with three of the couple's four children, ages 8, 4 and 2.
"We tried to tell her to get away, but it's easier said than done when you are a woman in fear with four children. It's hard," said Wendy Rigsbee, who lives with Amanda Mangum's brother, Robert Magruder.
Magruder said the family knew his sister was having problems with Kenya Mangum but didn't know the extent of the alleged abuse until after her death.
"All of her friends tried to get her to go to a women's shelter, but she wouldn't go," he said.
Amanda Mangum began dating Kenya Mangum when she was 13, her family said.
