A woman was arrested following a fatal stabbing in Sulphur Friday night.

Sulphur police arrested 31-year-old Crystal Renae Berryhill at a friend's house in Tulsa in connection with the stabbing of two men.

"It's scary to think about it, I've lived in this town all my life, and that's the first time I've ever heard of anything like that around here,” said longtime Sulphur resident, Billie Conner.

Several hours after two men were stabbed inside their Sulphur home, yellow tape still surrounded it. Sulphur police responded to the house on E. Tahlequah Avenue around 9 p.m. Friday.

It was the same home Conner once lived in in 1967 and was shocked to see it had become a crime scene.

"Scares me to death, I mean I keep a Taser by my bed," Conner said.

Conner said she doesn't know what led up to the stabbing since it was fairly quiet outside.

But police found 55-year-old Jose Devora dead from apparent stab wounds.

His roommate 51-year old Conrade Hernandez was badly injured from the stabbing.

"It's unreal you know, and I feel sorry for the people but they were nice people didn't know them that well they were friendly," Conner said

Also friendly, Conner said, was the woman, Berryhill, who police arrested in connection with the stabbing. She was Devora's girlfriend, who sometimes lived in the home.

"I spoke to her when she'd go by, she waved and we did small talk, but I really don't know them," Conner said.

Investigators questioned several neighbors and searched around the house for clues.

Some residents said Berryhill was erratic Friday night and kept trying to get inside the home.

Hernandez is being treated at OU Medical Center, but his condition has not been released.

Berryhill was booked into the Murray County Jail for First Degree Murder and Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
