LAND O' LAKES - Deputies have identified a woman fatally stabbed and her son critically injured during a domestic dispute Sunday.

Authorities say Orane Glen Ferguson, 29, stabbed his wife, 35-year-old Lenora Michelle Ferguson, at their home at 3400 Tarbolton Way, Pasco County sheriff's spokesman Doug Tobin said.

Orane Ferguson also stabbed his wife's son, 16-year-old Gabriel L. Neal, in the chest, Tobin said.

Neal is in fair condition at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa.

Deputies say the husband and wife argued and then got into a fistfight over food Sunday night. Michelle Ferguson called to her son to call 911. The teen then went into the kitchen and grabbed a knife; Orane Ferguson followed and did the same.

Michelle Ferguson then ran to the bathroom and shut the door, Tobin said. That's when, authorities say, Orane Ferguson kicked down the door and fatally stabbed her.

Neal tried to enter the bathroom, Tobin said, and was stabbed.

Deputies arrested Orane Ferguson late Sunday night. He faces charges of second-degree murder and attempted murder.

He is expected to have his first appearance in court at 1 p.m. today in New Port Richey.
