The 41-year-old suspect is accused of killing his mother Darlene Roth, 74, who officers found after responding shortly after 5 a.m. Monday to a report of a woman stabbed in the 2600 block of Jones Road, according to police.

Walnut Creek police have not provided a possible motive in the killing, calling it “an isolated incident between family members.”
