Woman Stabbed To Death In Montebello

MONTEBELLO (CBSLA.com) —A woman in her 50s or 60s was stabbed to death in Montebello Wednesday night.

Police were called to a house in the 600 block of North 20th Street around 6 p.m. after neighbors, who were doing a welfare check, found the Hispanic woman's body.

KCAL9's Juan Fernandez said authorities named 51-year-old Emelio Martinez, who reportedly lived in the victim's home, as a person of interest.

Officials said Martinez may have stolen the older woman's burgundy 2000 Dodge Stratus with California license plate 4JMC641.
