Galusha and others caught up with him in the building and a stand-off occurred. Jette then allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed Galusha.

A struggled ensued and Galusha and her friends were able to flee the building, according to court documents, back to the vehicle. Jette, however, gave chase and while holding a door open to the vehicle, allegedly stabbed Galusha multiple times as they attempted to drive away from the scene.

On North State Street, they stopped the car and called Concord Fire and Rescue teams to tend to Galusha’s injuries but she was pronounced dead at Concord Hospital a short time later.
