Details about the stabbing, reported on Main Street near the intersection of Mill and Webster streets about 1:06 p.m., were scarce, but authorities are calling it a domestic incident.

Both victims were female; their ages weren't given, but the family members identified the victims as 58-year-old Ana Maria Martinez and 76-year-old Sergia Acosta. Family members say Acosta lived at the apartment complex and Martinez regularly checked on her mother. Rodriguez's father also lived at the complex and that's how Martinez got to know Rodriguez and they began dating, family members said.
