St. Paul Police said Saturday they’ve arrested a man on suspicion of murder.
Officers found a woman, who her friends said was in a relationship with the suspect, dead in the couple’s Frogtown home early Friday. Her 2-year-old daughter was also in the home and not harmed.
Police said they located the suspect in Minneapolis. The 34-year-old is being held in the Ramsey County jail.
Officers responded to a request to check a person’s well-being about 5:15 a.m. Friday at a house on Edmund Avenue between Virginia and Farrington streets. A caller reported a woman might have been injured and that a toddler might have been left alone, said Sgt. Toy Vixayvong, a St. Paul police spokesman, said Friday afternoon.
St. Paul Fire Department medics pronounced the 33-year-old woman dead at the scene. Police did not say Friday how she was killed.
The woman and the suspect were the parents of the 2-year-old girl, she told police who responded to a domestic assault in 2023 at the Edmund Avenue house, which they owned together, according to court and property records.
The suspect was twice convicted of domestic assault against the woman, and once convicted of assault against a woman he was previously in a relationship with, Minnesota court records show.
