Dominique Frazier (pictured in 4th frame) was murdered by her college roommate, Alexis Simpson. Simpson’s trial is underway.

September 15, 2011: On the 48th Anniversary of The Bombing of 4 Little Girls at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL Washington DC native, 18 year old Dominique Frazier was stabbed to death by her roommate, Alexis Simpson. The triggering factor… LOUD MUSIC from an iPod!

Simpson came home to her Bowie State University dormitory suite around 8 p.m., she turned off the iPod that Frazier had playing and went to her own bedroom. When Frazier turned the music back on, Simpson started pounding on Frazier’s door, according to guests who were present in the dormitory suite. One of the visitors opened the door to Frazier’s bedroom, and Simpson jumped on Dominique, according to witness statements and the victims mother. The  fight escalated when Simpson took a pair of scissors and gruesomely stabbed Frazier in the neck.

Hours later, Simpson turned herself in to county law enforcement. After the murder occurred, eyewitnesses said that Simpson told them “I didn’t mean to do it, you all don’t know what I’ve been through.”

Frazier would be 20 years old. She died just days short of her 19th birthday.

Today in court, Simpson told the jury she was trying to defend herself. She said she had been bullied by Frazier and knew Frazier owned a knife. Find more on the Simpson trial from the local ABC News Affiliate ABC7News
