Two suspects arrested in stabbing case, another arrested for evading arrest

The Edinburg Police Department has arrested two individuals in connection with a stabbing incident Tuesday.

Edinburg city spokeswoman Roxanne Lerma said officers were dispatched to the 1100 block of West Trenton Road around 8:30 a.m. about a man who had been stabbed.

Officers spoke to the victim, who said he was stabbed and assaulted by his girlfriend and a friend at his apartment in the 500 block of North Edgewood. The suspects were identified as Miguel Angel Pedroza, 30, and Caroline Valadez, 29.

Lerma said officers found the victim had stab wounds, multiple bruises to his face and head and multiple cuts to his knuckles. Despite his injuries, the victim was in stable condition.

The Edinburg Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division opened an investigation into the stabbing and identified the suspects as Pedroza and Valadez.

According to Lerma, officers located Pedroza and Valadez traveling in a vehicle and attempted to stop them. The suspects then fled.

Lerma said Edinburg police officers abandoned the pursuit after the suspects crossed city limits and the Texas Department of Public Safety took over. The pursuit eventually ended at 2nd Street and Business 83.

A third suspect, identified as Catarina Olivo, 31, was arrested for evading arrest in a vehicle.
