Daughter Charged In Father's Death

Police Say Two Fought Over Dinner Roll

POSTED: Monday, May 25, 2009
UPDATED: 3:58 pm EDT June 2, 2009

Prosecutors said Wednesday that a Detroit-area woman was arraigned on murder charges in the fatal stabbing of her father after an argument over a dinner roll.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy charged 42-year-old Ava Maria Gordon of Melvindale with second-degree murder. She was arraigned Thursday in district court in Allen Park.

Police responded to a home on the 24000 block of Outer Drive Monday morning after a man called 911 and said he had been stabbed in the stomach.

When police arrived they found the victim, Greg Gordon, with multiple stab wounds. He was transported to an area hospital, where he later died.

Ava Gordon was found hiding in a wooded area behind the home. She was also taken to the hospital and then to the police station.

Police said Ava Gordon told them that the shooting was sparked over leftover food.

She said she ate a dinner roll that her father had been saving for later, even though it had a note on it advising her not to eat it.

Neighbors said Ava Gordon moved back into her father's home about 7 months ago.

Police said she also fired a gun but apparently didn't hit her father.
