Stabbing outside of AH leaves one dead

Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes detectives are investigating a stabbing leading to the death of a woman that happened on the 15600 block of West Highway 2, outside of Airway Heights city limits, on June 4.

SCSO deputies, assisted by Airway Heights Police, responded to a call where a woman reported she had been stabbed before it was disconnected. At the location, deputies found an unconscious woman who was bleeding. She received medical attention and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Spokane County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the woman as Sally Love, 67, and the cause of death was listed as stab wounds.

The deputy’s report states that Love’s roommate heard arguing coming from her room but did not know she was injured until he checked on her and she had already called 911. SCSO Dep. Mark Gregory said the roommate was questioned but cooperated.

Sheriff’s deputies later arrested Daniel Love, 59, for second-degree murder. Gregory confirmed that deputies found Daniel Love in the general area.

“He wasn’t at the scene and deputies with assistance, were able to locate him,” Gregory added.

Daniel Love was transported to Spokane County Jail where he was booked on a charge of second-degree murder.
