New details have emerged about an Olympic hopeful from Colorado who allegedly stabbed an Uber driver to death inside his car, including how she claims he attempted to reach back and assault her despite being partially paralyzed — which prompted her to plunge a kitchen knife into him 60 times, prosecutors say.
Khayla Dawson, 27, of Colorado Springs, claims she was going for a "joy ride" when she scheduled an Uber pickup with 38-year-old victim Jeremy Campbell on Oct. 26, according to an arrest affidavit filed by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office and obtained by Law&Crime.
Dawson — who competed at the 2024 USA Olympic Trials in Oregon in the shot put, according to local ABC affiliate KRDO — alleges that she fell asleep in Campbell's 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe and woke up to him trying to "sexually assault her." She claims to have "defended herself by stabbing him" after a tussle ensued, according to the affidavit.
At a preliminary hearing on Friday, prosecutors and experts described how Dawson allegedly stabbed Campbell roughly 60 times inside his Hyundai before dumping his body in a field and taking off with the vehicle, according to The Gazette.
Her claims about Campbell reaching back to "assault" her were reportedly challenged and dismissed by a police detective who testified that Campbell was partially paralyzed on his right side, which makes Dawson's allegations about fighting back following an attack from him implausible, per the detective.

We don’t have a “race problem” in America. (Unless you count the problematic abuse of white people in so many academic, employment, and clinical situations.)
However, it seems that America *does* have a problem *race*.
