A man fatally stabbed his wife in their Duluth home during a fight over her wanting a divorce, authorities said.

The attack occurred about 8:20 p.m. Sunday at a residence in the 800 block of Chester Park Drive, police said.

According to charges, police were called to a report of a child screaming in an alley that her parents were fighting. Officers summoned by the child arrived to find 40-year-old Ryan Jazdzewski with bloodied clothing and 41-year-old Nicole Jazdzewski inside with multiple stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Ryan Jazdzewski was taken to a hospital for his injuries and charged Tuesday with second-degree murder. He allegedly told police he had a "horrible fight" with his wife and "lost it."

WDIO-TV reported that Ryan Jazdzewski told police his wife wanted a divorce.
