Morgan Hill man arrested for suspected murder of wife
Roy Anthony Lopez, 37, was arrested on suspicion of murder after allegedly driving his critically injured wife to Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose on Saturday morning. Upon arrival at approximately 9:20 a.m., Lopez reportedly confessed to hospital staff that he had killed her. First responders located the female victim inside a vehicle parked at the hospital; despite receiving emergency medical care, she was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Investigators determined the incident began at a residence in the 1100 block of Vintage Lane in Morgan Hill. Police discovered three children, ages 14, 6, and 3, home alone at the residence. The children were taken to the Morgan Hill Police Department and subsequently released into the custody of the Santa Clara County Department of Family and Children’s Services.
San Jose police initially detained Lopez without incident until Morgan Hill officers arrived to take him into custody. He has since been booked into the Santa Clara County Jail under California Penal Code section 187(a).
