Man arrested for murdering woman in Tulare County, deputies say

An investigation is underway following the murder of a woman in Goshen Friday night.

The Tulare County Sheriff's Office says just before 10:30 p.m., a child called 911 to report a family disturbance on Juniper Road near Willis Avenue.

When deputies arrived at the scene, they found a dead woman, an injured man and four children under the age of 18 in the house.

Detectives say the man, identified as 33-year-old Alfonso Fuentes-Montes, had gotten into an argument with the woman when she asked one of her children to call for help.

Fuentes-Montes was taken to a nearby hospital for his injuries and arrested for murder.

Child Welfare Services was called and the children have placed under the care of family.
