TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — The Travis County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after a woman in her 50s was stabbed to death Monday afternoon.

TCSO said it received multiple calls reporting that someone had been murdered on Monday, shortly after 4 p.m., at a home in the 14500 block of Oliphant Street. That’s in the Austin’s Colony neighborhood in eastern Travis County.

When deputies arrived, they found a woman in her 50s with stab wounds. Life-saving measures were performed, but the woman was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.

According to a release from the sheriff’s office, deputies were told that the suspect was the victim’s ex son-in-law, Ananias Jimenez-Arroyo, 34. KXAN is working to find attorney information for Jimenez-Arroyo to request a comment on the incident. This story will be updated.

TCSO said a family member of the victim had called 911 and reported that he entered the residence “as the homicide was occurring.” The family member and Jimenez-Arroyo then got into a fight, and Jimenez-Arroyo fled the scene.

Shortly after that, Jimenez-Arroyo’s brother-in-law called 911 to report the crime and provided the suspect’s location, according to the release.

Jimenez-Arroyo was detained by the Austin Police Department at a residence on the 7000 block of Decker Lane. He was booked into the Travis County Jail at 1:09 a.m. Tuesday after being released from the hospital.

This is TCSO’s second homicide investigation of the year.
