Grandmother Stabbed in Neck Tells Police 'It Was My Daughter'

The details in this report are from Gwinnett County Police incident reports. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.

A Loganville woman is behind bars without bond following a knife attack on her mother after an argument earlier this month.

Gwinnett Police records show Danielle Simone Garcia, 43, was charged with aggravated assault on her mother, 60, in the 1600 block of Ewing Farm Drive on Feb. 6. According to Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office records, Garcia was still in jail Friday afternoon, Feb. 14.

The incident report says Garcia’s 19-year-old son was on top of her, holding her down, after police arrived around 11 p.m. on Feb. 6.

“She stabbed my grandmother,” the son said, according to the report.

Police say Garcia stabbed her mother in the neck as the two argued over an undisclosed reason. The mother suffered a severe cut to the neck and was transported to the hospital.

The police report states that the responding officer first found the older woman on the floor in a hallway, bleeding from the wound. “It was my daughter. She’s upstairs,” the grandmother said.
