The incident happened around 11 p.m. in the 12300 block of Southwest 200th Terrace.
According to an arrest report, officers responded to calls of a man beating a woman in the area and found the victim, 48-year-old Claudia Lucia Ordonez, lying in the street suffering from multiple stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators said Ordonez-Diaz had been arguing with the victim when he pulled her out of her car and started beating her as she called for help, the report said.
Neighbors called police as Ordonez-Diaz armed himself with a knife and stabbed the woman multiple times, the report said.
Ordonez-Diaz then got into her car and ran her over before ramming the vehicle into another car, the report said.
One person in the other car suffered a broken neck, while the other person in the car was treated at the scene.
Police said officers responded and there was a confrontation before an officer shot Ordonez-Diaz.
Officials haven’t said what the relationship was between Ordonez-Diaz and the victim.
