COMPTON, Calif. (KABC) --
A 67-year-old woman was booked for murder after physically fighting another woman in her 60s at a Compton park, sheriff's officials said.
Homicide detectives learned Compton Station deputies responded to the 2000 block of W. Alondra Boulevard at about 7 p.m. on Thursday on a call of a "woman not breathing."
When they arrived to the park, deputies found a 63-year-old woman lying on the ground and unresponsive.
Officials said a group of women were at the park when a 67-year-old became annoyed with another woman, arguing that she was too loud. The argument quickly became physical with both punching each other and one being hit with a cane, sheriff's officials said in a press release.
Both women ended up on the ground where the fight continued. The 67-year-old suspect got up and walked away while the other complained she could not breathe.
The victim was then transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The 67-year-old woman was arrested and booked for murder at Century Regional Detention Center, where she was being held in lieu of $1 million bail.
