Murder Charge Filed In Havre de Grace Homicide

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD - A woman has been charged with murder in the stabbing of her boyfriend, who died last month in Havre de Grace.

Aubri Grace Pluhar, 23, of the 800 block of Lancaster Drive in Bel Air, was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree assault and reckless endangerment. She was booked at the Harford County Detention Center on Thursday and was being held without bail, according to court records.

Pluhar's charges stemmed from a domestic incident that resulted in the death of 20-year-old Andrew Pizanis, police said.

Authorities reported that they found Pizanis bleeding and vomiting when they were called to the 800 block of Lafayette Street in Havre de Grace for a suspicious circumstance after 3 a.m. on July 20.

Pizanis had been stabbed by Pluhar, who was his girlfriend, according to Corporal Daniel Petz of the Havre de Grace Police Department.

Arriving officers saw "large amounts of blood" and provided first aid before Pizanis was taken to Harford Memorial Hospital, where officials said he was pronounced deceased.
