Aliza Sherman, the nurse that was murdered called 911 herself

Aliza Sherman, a Beachwood woman who was killed in Cleveland Sunday, called 9-1-1 to report the attack herself before someone heard her yelling and came to help.

In the call, Sherman asked for help. "Help me... Erieview 55. Help me, I've been attacked," she said.

Police said that Sherman was found with possible stab wounds.

The dispatcher asked for an apartment number and she repeated the address and asked again for help. Then, the line disconnected.

The call lasted less than 40 seconds.

Another cell phone call, which can be heard in the video to the right, was placed to emergency dispatch within a minute: a man reporting that he heard Sherman screaming from his office and came out to help.

"Hurry, this is bad," the man said. "There's a lady who was just attacked and there's blood everywhere."

The man stayed at the scene and on the phone with the dispatcher until help arrived about six minutes later.

"She is getting worse by the second here," he said at one point during the call.

We will have more information on this ongoing investigation as it becomes available.
