Charles Foster

A man was fatally stabbed Friday morning south of the city, and after a short search sheriff's deputies made an arrest in the case.

Shortly before 11 a.m., deputies responded to a stabbing in the 8500 block of South Craycroft Road, said Chief Deputy Chris Nanos of the Pima County Sheriff's Department, in a news release.

When deputies arrived, they found Grant Lee Wright, 38, was receiving life-saving measures from friends, Nanos said.

Wright was pronounced dead at the scene, said Nanos.

Deputies began searching for a suspect and detained Charles Foster, 37, who was found in the area, Nanos said.

Investigators said Wright and Foster were involved in a fight over property.

Foster was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, and booked into the Pima County jail, said Nanos.
