Glendale, October 2: In a disturbing incident, a 25-year-old son stabbed his 49-year-old mother multiple times before decapitating her at their home in Glendale, Arizona. The brutal attack occurred on September 27, just hours before a surprise birthday party planned for the victim, Teresa DeJesus Cruz Rubio. Family members became alarmed when she failed to arrive for the celebration and subsequently discovered her decapitated body hidden under a blanket. Police reports indicate that he used a kitchen knife in the brutal attack, which resulted in Cruz Rubio's head being chopped off.

According to Fox 10 Phoenix report, the horrific sequence of events began earlier in the day when family members contacted Cruz Rubio around 3:40 PM to confirm her attendance at the party. When she did not show up, family members went to her home in the evening, where they made the gruesome discovery. Police responded to the scene just before midnight, finding Cruz Rubio's body with multiple stab wounds. US Horror: Woman Stabs Boyfriend, Chops Off His Private Parts After 'She Thought He Got Her Pregnant Again' in Colorado.

A kitchen knife and a bloody scene were found in the house, along with evidence suggesting that her son, Alejandro Gonzalez, was responsible for the attack. Investigators revealed that Gonzalez was seen driving his mother’s car earlier in the day. Around 2:40 AM on September 28, Phoenix police located the vehicle near 99th Avenue and I-10, where Gonzalez was taken into custody. Upon questioning, he admitted to the brutal crime, confessing to stabbing his mother multiple times and decapitating her afterwards.

Fox 10 Phoenix further reported that Gonzalez had a history of mental health issues and had recently been released from jail. His erratic behaviour had raised concerns within the family, though they had not anticipated such a tragic outcome. Gonzalez is now facing charges of first-degree murder, and his bond has been set at USD 1 million. The Glendale Police Department continues to investigate the case, with victim advocacy services offering support to Cruz Rubio’s grieving family.
