Police said the woman heard her dogs barking and was investigating when a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt stabbed her several times. Police have arrested 21-year-old Cassius Lorenzo Collins, of La Porte, and charged him with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Investigators believe the attack was not random and that Collins has "family ties" to the victim.
