SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A Nebraska resident accused of stabbing to death a woman in northwest Iowa has had her trial set for the fall.

The trial of Melissa Camargo-Flores, of Dakota City, Nebraska, had been scheduled to begin Feb. 19, but a judge last month granted her attorneys’ request for a dely. The Sioux City Journal reports that on Friday, the judge set the new trial date for Oct. 22.

Camargo-Flores has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the April. 8 killing of 24-year-old Kenia Alvarez-Flores in Sioux City. Court documents say Camargo-Flores admitted stabbing Alvarez-Flores. Camargo-Flores told investigators she’d been involved in a relationship with the victim’s boyfriend.

Authorities say the two women were not related.
