Update: Officials with the Dona Ana County Detention Center are holding Allyn without bond.

Update: Court documents state that responding officers found Allyn "possibly intoxicated" when they arrived at the apartment.

Court documents identify the victim as Timothy White. The people who notified police about the stabbing found White with stab wounds to his crotch area, according to a police affidavit.
