Robert Faustino Hance, 23

Tucson police have arrested a man in connection with a stabbing last month that left a 24-year-old dead.

On Oct. 30, Daniel Flowers was found in the 700 block of West Street, near South 12th Avenue and West Irvington Road, with severe "sharp-force trauma". He died at the scene.

On Friday, police found Robert Faustino Hance, 23, in the 4400 block of South Park Avenue and arrested him on suspicion of first-degree murder in connection with the killing of Flowers, Tucson police said in a news release.

Hance was being held at Pima County jail on a $725,000 bond.

Detectives are asking anyone with information to call 911 or 88-CRIME, the anonymous tips line.
