UPDATE: Complaint said woman stabbed man on bus because she was 'jealous'

UPDATE (1:06 p.m., July 29):

An interim complaint obtained by KGUN 9 said the 31-year-old woman suspected of stabbing a 61-year-old man on a city bus Friday did it because she said she was "jealous."

According to the complaint, Tucson Police officers spoke to Juanita Sanchez after responding to reports of a stabbing at the Laos Transit Center on Tucson's south side.

The complaint said Sanchez told officers that she had just stabbed a man on the bus. Sanchez made "utterances when detained" that she stabbed the victim due to him making threats to kill her family.

The victim, who was stabbed in the right hand and on the back of his neck, did not know Sanchez, the complaint said.

The cut on the back of the victim's hand required sutures, the complaint said. The alleged weapon recovered by TPD was a steak knife.

Post-Miranda, Sanchez admitted to officers that she stabbed the victim because she "did not like the way he looked and the fact he was listening to music and had jewelry on, which made her jealous."

Sanchez allegedly told police that she admitted to using methamphetamine the night before. She could not tell officers how her family had been threatened by the victims, the complaint said.
