Charlottesville - Newly released documents show that a University of Virginia student and the man accused of killing her quarreled shortly before her death.

Yeardley Love of Cockeysville, Md., was found dead in her apartment May 3. Her ex-boyfriend and fellow lacrosse player, George Huguely of Chevy Chase, Md., is charged with murder.

According to search-warrant affidavits released late Tuesday, police have fragments of an e-mail they believe Love sent to Huguely relating to a fight between the two.

The text of the e-mail was not released. Huguely told police he and Love had exchanged e-mails in the days leading up to her death.

Also, an affidavit says one of Love's sorority sisters told police she saw a fight in which Love hit Huguely with her purse in Huguely's apartment.
