A 21-year-old woman who was found dead by police in an east Fort Worth home Saturday has been identified.
Glenda Maria Aguilera Rubio, 21, died around 7:25 a.m. Saturday at a home in the 2600 block of Yeager Street, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office.
Officers were called to the home for a reported stabbing, police said in a release. When officers arrived, they instead found Rubio lying on a bed in the kitchen with a gunshot wound to the head, police said in an arrest-warrant affidavit.
Josue Bayardo Rodas, 29, was later arrested in connection to Rubio‘s death, police said.

Rodas and Rubio described themselves as husband and wife, but officers have not confirmed if they were married, according to Bradley Perez, a spokesman for the Fort Worth Police Department.
Rodas, Rubio and her two children were staying at the home on Yeager Street, according to the affidavit.
Officers learned from other witnesses in the home that Rubio’s children found their mother in the kitchen with blood on her and then told a woman in the home, according to an affidavit.
After the woman saw Rubio, she noticed the home’s front door was open and Rubio’s car and Rodas were gone.
Around 9 a.m. Saturday, Rodas called 911 from Sweetwater, more than 190 miles away from Fort Worth, according to the affidavit. Rodas reportedly confessed while at a gas station in Sweetwater to committing a homicide in Fort Worth and turned himself in, according to the affidavit.
His is being held at the Tarrant County jail and his bond is set at $500,000.
