TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Tucson police arrested a woman accused of stabbing her 60-year-old husband to death.

Police say 60-year-old Mary Durazo stabbed and killed 60-year-old Ruben Durazo in the 4200 block of East 24th Street Thursday.

Police say she killed him after an argument.

Mary Durazo was booked into Pima County Jail on a first-degree murder charge. Her bond was set at $1 million.

Loushanna Waugh lives in the area and she said sometimes there is violent crime in the area but there are also other types of crime.

“So there’s like lots of O.D.s around the apartments and there’s like a lot of crackhead activities so it’s just best to stay in the house," Wough said.

Those with information should call 88-CRIME.
