The woman, Maria Rodriguez, 71, had been stabbed several times in the torso and died in her home, according to the police. Her 87-year-old husband, who uses a wheelchair, was stabbed in the chest and slashed across the arm. No arrests had been made by Sunday evening and the police did not offer a motive for the attack.
