Elvin Armas, 23, was booked into the Bexar County Jail on a charge of murder. His bail has not been determined.

Police arrested a 23-year-old man Thursday in connection with the fatal stabbing of a woman in the parking lot of a Converse apartment complex.

Elvin Armas was booked into the Bexar County Jail on a charge of murder. His bail has not been determined.

According to the arrest affidavit, Armas met with the woman, who has yet to be identified, to have sex in exchange for money. The two arranged to meet early Thursday at the Towne East Village Apartments in the 9000 block of West Farm to Market Road 78 via text.


Police say they were informed by a concerned citizen, to whom Armas had confided in, that Armas told the woman he didn't have any money only after they had sex.
The woman "got mad and pulled out a knife and stabbed him," according to police. Armas then allegedly took the knife from the woman and slashed her throat twice and cut her on her leg before fleeing the scene.


According to Converse Assistant Chief of Police Rex Rheiner, the woman went to the nearby apartments and began knocking on doors to ask for help, but no one answered.

"People are kind of wary about opening their door at 4:30 a.m.," Rheiner said.
One of the tenants eventually called police after she thought she heard someone knocking on her door and then found the woman lying outside. When police arrived, the woman was "lying in an excessive amount of blood and her face, hands and feet were covered in her own blood."


Police followed a trail of blood to the location of the stabbing, where they found the woman's belongings, including her cell phone, on which the text messages between her and Armas were discovered.
Police later located Armas at a job site in San Antonio, where he was arrested.
