BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- A woman is dead and one person has been arrested after a home invasion in Boynton Beach Thursday night.

Lissa Moody, 60, died at Delray Medical Center overnight after police say she and her husband, Chris Moody, 52, were stabbed by 20-year-old Michael Omar Ortiz.

Ortiz was charged Friday morning with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, home invasion robbery and grand theft.

Police were called to the Moody's home at 103 Azalea Circle at 8:15 p.m.

Ortiz was apprehended by a K9 officer and his dog, Daxxx, according to Boynton Beach police spokesperson Stephanie Slater.

Chris Moody is still at Delray Medical Center in stable condition.

The case remains under investigation.
