The Tucson Police Department confirmed it is investigating attacks at two homes in the 7400 block of East Vuelta Rancho Mesquite.
The TPD said Samuel Thomas Stangl V was armed with a knife when officers arrived at the first home. Stangl V had apparent self-inflicted stab wounds and was transported to a local hospital.
The 29-year-old will be booked on charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping, attempted first-degree murder, second-degree burglary, and aggravated assault when he is released.
The TPD said 58-year-old Samuel Stangl IV, Stangl V’s father, was found dead under a vehicle in the driveway of the home, and a 94-year-old woman was found inside with stab wounds.
13 News talked with a man who said his son was the victim who died and his grandson is the suspect. He said his sister is the elderly woman who was injured.
“Police told us at that point in time that there definitely was a problem and our son had died,” said Sam O’Shaughnessy Stangl. “Just very simply, we don’t know what happened. I am what is considered to be the patriarch of a family of 135 nieces, nephews and cousins and this is terrible.”
The elderly woman was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, but she is expected to survive.
13 News’ Kayla Butter saw glass and blood in the driveway of the home and saw damage to its garage door. The vehicle apparently collided with several objects in front of the home before or after hitting Stangl IV.
Two other people, a 75-year-old woman and a 77-year-old man, living in the second home suffered minor injuries. They said Stangl V forced his way into their home and assaulted them before leaving.
The TPD said Stangl V was living with Stangl IV and the 94-year-old woman, across the street from the other victims.
It is the seventh homicide 13 News has reported on in less than a month.

On Sept. 1, 42-year-old Vincent Anthony Siqueiros and 33-year-old Cameron Davis Capara were shot to death in the parking lot of a gay bar in downtown Tucson.
The TPD said 44-year-old Ousman Ceesay, who took his own life after the shooting, targeted the men and was carrying a list of LGBTQ+ businesses in his pocket.
A search of Ceesay’s home turned up evidence that he acted alone and that the shooting was a “targeted attack motivated by hate toward the LGBTQIA+ community,” according to the TPD.
