Carlos Ormsby

A 24-year-old man was stabbed to death early Sunday on Tucson's southwest side.

A wounded Richard Perez was found about 5:30 a.m. by deputies who answered a call about a disturbance at a house in the 6800 block of West Valencia Road. He died at the hospital, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said in a news release.

Detectives say Perez was stabbed during a fight with Carlos Ormsby, 41.

Ormsby remained on scene and was arrested and booked into the Pima County jail on suspicion of first-degree murder.
