ANTIOCH — A stabbing early Thursday killed a 30-year-old woman and critically injured a 39-year-old man who was listed as a suspect, police said.
The violence happened about 5 a.m. in the 2200 block of San Jose Drive, police said. Officers were dispatched there on reports that a stabbing had just happened and found the man and woman down and bleeding when they arrived, according to a statement from Antioch police Lt. Rick Martin.
Police pronounced the woman dead at the scene. Authorities did not release her identity Thursday afternoon, citing the investigation.
