ANDERSON, Ind. — The Anderson Police Department said the suspect in a mother's death was found in Boston, Massachusetts, and is being detained there.
Police were called to the home in the 2900 block of East 5th Street in the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 21.
Police said the victim, 37-year-old Andrea Aguirre, was found by her estranged husband. He told police he was at the house to check on her and the children after she didn't reply when he was trying to contact her.
Aguirre was found on the floor in her bedroom with what police initially believed to be a gunshot wound. However, an autopsy on Dec. 23 confirmed Aguirre died from multiple stab wounds.
The two children in the home were not injured.
After an investigation, the Madison County Prosecutor's Office obtained a warrant to arrest 36-year-old Alexander Miranda Ortiz, of Anderson, for Aguirre's murder.
Ortiz was found in Boston on Wednesday, Dec. 29, driving a vehicle that was registered to Aguirre. Massachusetts State Police currently has Ortiz detained.
Police said the investigation is ongoing, and more details will be released as they become available.
Police have not said how Aguirre and Ortiz were connected, if at all, but an officer confirmed Ortiz is not Aguirre's estranged husband who found her.
