Police are asking for the public's help in finding a person of interest in a Saturday morning stabbing in northwest Houston that left a woman hospitalized.

Harris County Sheriff's Office investigators are trying to locate Paul Reyes, 37, in connection with the case, an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Five deputies responded to the 4 a.m. call from the 7500 block of Stone Pine Lane, about a mile west of Cypress Ridge High School, and found a woman had been stabbed.

The victim was transported to North Cypress Hospital and was in stable condition as of late afternoon Saturday.

Members of the public with any information about Reyes or the case should call sheriff's office investigators at 713-274-9100, and may also report anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS or online at crime-stoppers.org.

One of the deputies who responded to the call, Omar Diaz, 39, died Saturday morning after collapsing while laying out crime scene tape at the scene.

A cause of death has not been determined.
