Monica Dominguez died Sunday after her husband allegedly stabbed her in a brutal attack Wednesday while the couple's two children were home.
A Connecticut mom of two was killed after her husband allegedly stabbed her nearly 30 times in a vicious attack – while their 11-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter were inside the home.
On Wednesday at 8:38 p.m., police responded to a 911 call from a home in Cheshire and found Monica Dominguez and her husband, Emanuel Dominguez-VillaGomez, 31, both suffering from knife wounds, the Cheshire Police Department says in a statement.
Dominguez was lying in a pool of blood on the floor, court records show, NBC Connecticut reports.
She had several cuts to her throat but was allegedly able to tell paramedics “he tried to kill me” and, “he [said] I cheated on him,” referring to her husband, court records show, NBC Connecticut reports.
She was rushed to the hospital. Her husband, who also sustained wounds in the attack, was taken to a separate hospital.
Her 11-year-old son is the one who called 911, court records show.
Anyone who is the victim of domestic violence or is concerned about someone being victimized, she says, is encouraged to reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

***Court documents obtained by Channel 3 showed that Monique Dominguez suffered between 20 and 30 stab wounds on her face, neck, arms and back.
Cheshire man accused in deadly domestic violence case charged with murder
***Advocates have been keeping track and they say, so far, nine lives have been lost this year in abusive situations.
Friends of a Cheshire woman say they stepped in when they witnessed warning signs in her relationship, but their friend is still gone.
“There were things she wasn’t comfortable with and I told her to just call the cops, just in case he does anything crazy,” said Heather Beichner.
Friends of Monica Dominguez are in disbelief that a man who they said had a temper allegedly took that rage to unfathomable levels.
“I didn’t think this would be the crazy. I thought it was going to be a smashed cell phone. Not being stabbed thirty times,” Beichner said.
Advocates say Cheshire deadly stabbing was ninth domestic death this year
***Police said the 11-year-old son of the victim told them that he witnessed his stepfather choking his mother as this nightmare unfolded.
Last Wednesday evening, just before 9 pm, neighbors of the relatively new residents, of 780 Mountain Road, could not believe what they saw.
The injured: Monica Dominguez, who sustained between 20 and 30 stab wounds, and her husband, Emanuel Dominguez-VillaGomez, who, according to the arrest warrant affidavit, told police, “We argued. She grabbed knives. She had it and I just went crazy.“
Cheshire stabbing suspect: ‘I just went crazy’
***Emanuel Dominguez-VillaGomez is schedule to appear in Superior Court in New Haven after being arraigned Friday in a Meriden court room where he was charged with first-degree assault, risk of injury, reckless endangerment and unlawful restraint. His wife, Monica Dominguez, who was critically wounded in the attack at the couple’s 780 Mountain Road home, died Sunday at St. Mary’s Hospital in Waterbury.
Cheshire man facing more serious charges in attack
***Emanuel Dominguez-Villagomez was held on $1 million bond at his arraignment on the murder charge Tuesday. He had previously been charged with first-degree assault, risk of injury to a minor, reckless endangerment, and unlawful restraint.
