Police in Pennsylvania have issued an arrest warrant for a man after a woman was found stabbed in her Pittsburgh home.
According to police, 50-year-old William L. Fitzgerald is wanted for the murder of Tarae Washington. Court documents said Fitzgerald is Washington’s estranged husband.
Washington was found handcuffed and stabbed to death in her home on Arlington Avenue in the South Side Slopes on Thursday night, police said.
Police said family members were concerned after not hearing from Washington. They went to check on her and found her unresponsive.
“There were family members who hadn’t heard from her for awhile who came to the house, and they were the ones who discovered her inside and called police,” Cara Cruz of Pittsburgh Public Safety said.
A neighbor who lives across the street said a woman lives at the home with her husband and she heard screaming. She added that she saw family members coming from the backyard saying, “He stabbed her” and the victim’s father said, “He killed my daughter.”
Anyone with information on Fitzgerald’s whereabouts is asked to call Pittsburgh police at 412-323-7800 or dial 911.
