Woman killed by estranged husband, police say

A 47-year-old woman was stabbed to death, and her husband arrested, in Montgomery County Saturday.

Ana Ayala of the 8600 block of Garland Avenue in Silver Spring was sitting in a car in a parking lot on her block when her estranged husband, 44-year-old Hector Granados, approached her. They had a short conversation before Granados stabbed her and fled, a witness told police.

Granados turned himself in to police around 12:30 p.m. Ayala died at a nearby hospital.

Police say they will confirm charges later tonight after detectives interview Granados.
