A woman was killed in a Lakeville home late Thursday allegedly by a man who was soon arrested in Rosemount, police said.
Lakeville officers responded to the 17000 block of Encina Path around 11:10 p.m. after a relative of the woman reported a “significant amount of blood” inside the home, police said in a Friday statement. Officers found the woman dead inside.
The man was identified as a suspect, and an alert was put out for his car.
About 10 minutes later, Rosemount police responded to a call of suspicious activity in the 3700 block of 148th Street in Rosemount and located the car unoccupied.
After a short search of the area, the suspect was found in a backyard and taken into custody around 11:50 p.m. He had injuries that appeared to have been self-inflicted and was transported by M Health medics to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, where he remains in custody and in their care.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s office will release the woman’s identity at a later time. The Dakota County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are assisting Lakeville police in the investigation.
