Man Charged in Woonsocket Woman's Murder

A 31-year-old man is facing murder charges after he allegedly stabbed a 28-year-old woman to death on Tuesday night.

Alvin Huggins will be arraigned today following a search that led police to Dorchester, Mass., where he was taken into custody on Wednesday.

Huggins allegedly killed Yanira Flores, a mother of two children, in her Willow Street apartment as the children were present.

Huggins, court records show, has served prison time for a prior assault when he stabbed a man in the neck.

In fact, Huggins has been charged with felony assault numerous times dating back to the early 2000s in addition to charges of credit card fraud and narcotics possession, among other charges.
