He says Corbitt called police just before 3:30 a.m. saying she had stabbed Floyd in self defense.  Walker says witnesses told investigators an argument between Corbitt and Floyd had led to the stabbing at an apartment in the 2700 block of South Maybelle.  

Sgt. Walker says they learned  Tahmachqua Floyd was apparently moving out of her apartment and Montoyia Corbitt was helping her with the move.

Floyd is Tulsa's 72nd homicide of 2016.

Corbitt was booked into the Tulsa County jail.  Jail records show she has a court appearance set for December 9th.of next of kin
