Prosecutors may seek the death penalty in the case of a former corrections officer accused of stabbing a Brevard County woman in front of her apartment.

Leon Foster in a bloody shirt was hauled away in handcuffs while wearing a bloody shirt Sunday.

Police said he broke into his girlfriend Mykeba Clark's home at the Bay Towers apartment complex, tried to kidnap her and then stabbed her several times.

One neighbor heard fighting and called 911.

Caller: "There's glass breaking and the girl's screaming. One of my friends that is with me heard a hammer drop and she's just screaming. And he's just yelling at her."

Foster wore a suicide watch vest in front of a judge Monday and was denied bond on charges of murder, kidnapping and burglary.

As far as a motive for the death, police said Foster did not like what he saw while spying in Clark’s window.
