STOW, Ohio — A 46-year-old man, identified as John Lorkowski, was arrested Wednesday night in connection with a deadly stabbing in Stow.
Authorities say it was around 10:31 p.m. when the Stow Police Department received two 911 calls from the 4000 block of Baird Road “reporting a disturbance and a stabbing that had just occurred.”
“One of the 911 callers told the dispatcher that he had stabbed a family member after an altercation,” according to a press release from Stow police.
When officers arrived at the scene, a 32-year-old woman, identified as Sharee Hutch, was found dead inside the home with “numerous stab wounds.” Lorkowski told authorities Hutch was his niece.
Stow police shared the below photo of Hutch.
Police say Lorkowski was arrested without incident and taken to a local hospital for treatment of cuts on his hand.
Once released from the hospital, Lorkowski was charged with murder and booked into the Summit County Jail.
Stow Municipal Court records show he's being held on a $500,000 bond as the case is sent over to the Summit County Court of Common Pleas.
