The incident occurred around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday at a residence on North Fork Drive in North Lakeland, across North Socrum Loop Road from the Sandpiper neighborhood, according to a statement from the Lakeland Police Department.

Police received a 911 call from 50-year-old Deljie Tyson, who said he stabbed his wife, 46-year-old Sandra Green, while she was acting erratic during a fight, according to the statement.

When police arrived, Tyson was still at the scene and Green was found on the kitchen floor with multiple stab wounds. Police said two knives and a gun were found nearby, but the gun did not appear to be fired. Tyson also had a stab wound on his arm and a small cut on his finger.

Polk County Fire Rescue and the Lakeland Fire Department attempted life-saving measures on Green and took both Green and Tyson to Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center. Green died shortly after. There were more than 20 stab wounds, LPD said. Tyson, who was treated for a minor injury, was arrested by Lakeland police.
