A 52-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder in a fatal stabbing at a Brighton home last week, police officials said Tuesday.

Johnny Jose Moreno was arrested by Aurora police officers early Friday morning, the Brighton Police Department said in a news release.

The stabbing occurred about 5 p.m. Thursday in the 3000 block of East Bridge Street, when police were called about an unconscious man and found a 34-year-old with stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at Platte Valley Medical Center.
