North Texas man stabs girlfriend to death, police say – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Irving police said they arrested a man who made a full confession after a woman was found stabbed to death in a parking lot.

Police said they responded to an “unknown person” call in the 3100 block of Walnut Hill Lane around 6:15 a.m. on Monday, July 1.

When officers arrived, they found 42-year-old Sucel Cuba Gomez dead, apparently with multiple stab wounds. In a press release, police identified the suspect as 44-year-old Yunier Aldazabal, who allegedly fled the scene in his vehicle.

According to an affidavit obtained by NBC 5, a co-worker of the victim told police they saw Aldazabal “hitting” the victim. Another witness told police they exchanged glances with Aldazabal as he left the parking lot in a red minivan.

At around 9 a.m., police found Aldazabal sitting in his minivan in a parking lot in the 2800 block of W. Irving Boulevard, where he was arrested without incident. In the affidavit, police said Aldazabal had injuries to his hands from the attack on the victim.

Police said he made a full confession during a subsequent interrogation. Police said investigators learned Aldazabal and the victim “had a relationship,” but they did not reveal a motive for the murder. The investigation into the murder is ongoing and police are appealing for further information.

Aldazabal is currently being held in the Dallas County Jail on a total bail of $2 million. It is unclear if he has an attorney to speak on his behalf.
