PASADENA – A San Gabriel man was charged with murder today in connection with the fatal stabbing earlier this month of a Burbank resident.

Deputy District Attorney Stephanie Mire said 41-year-old Jorge Ernesto Villalobos, also known as George Villalobo Aragon, was scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon in Department D of Pasadena Superior Court.

Villalobos was charged in case No. GA072508 with one count of murder with the allegation that a knife was used to commit the crime. Bail was recommended at $1.02 million.

The defendant was charged with the fatal stabbing of Glenn Giles, who was in his 40s. The stabbing occurred at Giles’ home in Burbank. The victim, who reportedly suffered numerous stab wounds, ran from his home and collapsed and died in front of a neighbor’s house, authorities said. Villalobos was arrested by Burbank police a day later.

If convicted, Villalobos faces a possible term of life in prison with the possibility of parole.
