Case of Columbia teen charged with fatally stabbing boyfriend heading to county court

A teenager accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend in their Columbia apartment last month will have her charges decided in Lancaster County Court.

Janiyah Ann Torres, 17, waived her preliminary hearing Monday before District Judge Miles K. Bixler. She is charged with third-degree murder and homicide, both first-degree felonies.
