Officials have made an arrest in connection with the fatal stabbing that was discoveredĀ inĀ the Vista Del Canon neighborhood in Santa Clarita Saturday night.

Detectives learned about the incident around 5:46 p.m. when the victim’s mother called the SCV Sheriff’s Station from the Burbank area saying that her daughter’s live-in girlfriend was involved in a verbal altercation with her daughter.

The mother was in the presence of the suspect at the time.

The girlfriend told the victim’sĀ mother that there was an assault during the altercation.

Local law enforcement responded to the call and detained the suspect at the mother’s residence.

“A suspect was arrested and transported to Santa Clarita Valley,” said Deputy Lisa Jansen with the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.
