San Jose police have identified the man suspected of stabbing his girlfriend to death Friday morning inside an apartment complex as 48-year-old Peter Shui.
Police have not released the name of the 33-year-old victim.
On Friday morning, a 911 dispatcher received a call from a man who bluntly said he had just killed his girlfriend, police said.
As the dispatcher kept the man on the phone, officers rushed to the Park Kiely Luxury Apartments on Albany Drive.
Upon their arrival, they found Shui outside the complex and arrested him, according to neighbors.
Officers then found the woman dead inside. She had been stabbed multiple times, according to police.
The slaying was the third homicide this year related to domestic violence, police said.
On Friday, neighbors revealed chilling details of the killing that happened inside the second-story unit at the sprawling apartment complex.
Moments before the stabbing, neighbor Rebecca Crane said she heard a woman screaming.
"They were horrible screams," Crane said. "I had no idea what was going on inside."
Crane went inside to call 911 and moments later heard a man huffing and puffing outside.
Crane said she then heard a San Jose police officer ordering the man to get on the ground.
Police said the man and woman were dating; neighbors said they believe the couple lived together and have had more than one argument.
The suspect and victim were relatively new to the building, neighbors said.
