DETROIT (WXYZ) — Detroit police have released a photo of a suspect accused in the fatal stabbing of a woman while medics administered CPR to a 50-year-old man in another room in the same home.

The fatal stabbing happened Sept. 21 around 9:30 p.m. in the 80 block of W. Arizona St.

According to a release, Emergency Medical Technicians arrived to the home on a call for an unresponsive man. While medics were performing CPR, the suspect, 26-year-old Darius Calhoun, allegedly took a woman into a bedroom and stabbed her to death.
