bizarre stabbing incident in Texas – the suspected murder
weapon is a stiletto shoe.
Police in Houston say the suspect, 44-year-old Ana Lilia
Trujillo, used one of the pointy-heeled shoes to stab the 59-
year-old victim in a high-rise luxury condominium building
inhabited primarily by faculty and staff at the University of
Houston.
Authorities are yet to identify the victim, and it's unclear
whether he worked at the University.

a lethal weapon
According to authorities, police were called to the Parklane
Building in the 1,700 block of Herman Drive in Houston's
Theater District about 4 a.m. Sunday in response to an assault
in progress.
When police got to the 18th floor condo, Trujillo opened the
door and let officers into the unit, which is where they found
the victim in a hallway between the entryway and the kitchen.
Authorities say the man was stabbed multiple times, each
time, apparently, with a stiletto shoe.
Trujillo was the only one present when the body was
discovered.

to death with a stiletto heel at this condominium complex
Houston police tell ABC13 that Trujillo initially was cooperative
with detectives, but later stopped talking as she was taken to a
precinct for additional questioning.
Investigators say Trujillo doesn't live in the building and
appears to have just been visiting. Hotel staff told authorities
she appears to have arrived last night.
The relationship between Trujillo and the victim is unknown,
and a motive for the slaying is unclear.
Trujillo is being held on suspicion of murder.
