SAN BENITO - A murder suspect will be arraigned tomorrow.
Deputies arrested 30-year-old Efrain Puente. He's accused of fatally stabbing 20-year-old Francisco Losoya.
It happened at a home on Nicho Esparza Boulevard in El Ranchito. Police say Puente went to his ex-wife's home, found her with another man, and stabbed him to death after a struggle.
The suspect ran from police. But they arrested him, shortly after getting a warrant.
