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 was found dead inside the home with “numerous stab wounds.” Her name has not been released.

Police say Lorkowski was arrested without incident and taken to a local hospital for treatment to cuts on his hand.

Once released from the hospital, Lorkowski was charged with murder and booked into the Summit County Jail.
