The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) announced a wanted suspect has been extradited and charged for a stabbing that killed a woman on Dec. 19, 2023, on the 1200 block of 11th Street, NW.

According to MPD documents, officers responded to the location for the report of a domestic disturbance, where they located a woman inside of a residence with stab wound injuries. She died at the scene.

The victim was identified as 31-year-old Reyna Garcia-Lopez.

On Dec. 20, 2023, pursuant to a DC Superior Court arrest warrant, members of the Great Lake Regional Fugitive Task Force located and arrested 54-year-old Alberto Valle-Carranza in Michigan City, Indiana.

Valle-Carranza went through the extradition process and was returned to the District. On Feb. 6, he was transported to the Homicide Branch, where he was charged with second-degree murder while armed.
