Arrest made in fatal stabbing during Albuquerque break-in

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Albuquerque police say an arrest has been made in the fatal stabbing of a 59-year-old homeowner in his house during a break-in. Police say officers responding to a report of a knife-wielding man trying to break into vehicles and homes Tuesday night found 59-year-old Maximillian Moreno fatally wounded. According to police, 25-year-old Kristopher Marquez of Albuquerque was arrested and jailed on suspicion of murder and aggravated burglary after being found nearby with a knife in the home's backyard. Court records don't immediately show whether Marquez has an attorney who could comment on the allegations.
