PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — A Port St. Lucie woman was fatally stabbed early Saturday and police said the suspect was hospitalized.
Police were called to the 3600 block of Southwest Masilunas Street shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday.
Officers learned a 40-year-old man called an individual and left a "concerning" voice message.
The individual went to check on that man and a woman.
When the individual arrived at the house, the person found the man and a 48-year-old woman with apparent knife wounds.
The woman was pronounced deceased at the scene. The 40-year-old man was hospitalized in stable condition.
Detectives believe the suspect stabbed the woman to death with a knife and then suffered self-inflicted knife wounds.
Police said there is no threat to the community, that it was an isolated domestic incident and not a random act of violence. No other suspects were being sought.
Detectives have obtained an arrest warrant for the suspect on a charge of first-degree murder with a weapon. The suspect will be taken to jail when he is released from the hospital.
