The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office officially filed a murder charge against an Aurora man following a fatal stabbing.

Jorge Luis Fernandez-Garcia, 31, was arrested on Sunday in connection to the death of a woman outside of a home in northwest Aurora. He now faces first-degree murder charges — domestic violence, a Class 1 felony, according to a news release from the district attorney’s office.

Aurora police officers responded to the 2200 block of Geneva Street around 2 a.m. Sunday morning. Upon arrival, officers found a woman lying on the ground with a man — later identified as Fernandez-Garcia — standing over her, according to the Aurora Police Department.

The man ran from the scene and was later arrested Sunday afternoon, the department said.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital, where she passed away from her injuries. Her name will be released at a later date following identification by the Adams County Coroner’s Office.

The district attorney’s office filed the official charges on Thursday. Fernandez-Garcia is due in court for a preliminary hearing on July 12.
