LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said a man stabbed himself after allegedly stabbing his wife Saturday morning.

Las Vegas police said they were dispatched to the 1300 block of Torington Drive around 8:17 a.m. This is near the intersection of Washington Avenue and N. Torrey Pines Drive.

Officers at the scene located a man and woman inside a home suffering from apparent stab wounds. Medical technicians declared the woman deceased at the scene. The man was transported to UMC Hospital in critical condition.

Homicide detectives identified and arrested 33-year-old Shiva Gummi as the suspect in this case.

Gummi was booked in absentia into the Clark County Detention Center for open murder with a deadly weapon.

The Clark County Coroner has since identified Gummi's wife as Gendoline Amsrala, 28. Coroner's investigators determined she died from multiple stab wounds, and her death was ruled a homicide.

A verified GoFundMe was started to help Amsrala's family. A GoFundMe spokesperson said donations will be used to help her mother and father with funeral expenses.
