A woman is dead following an early morning dispute in St. Paul’s Union Park neighborhood.
Officers found the victim after responding to a report of a domestic disturbance in an apartment on the 300 block of Pierce Street North shortly after midnight Wednesday. A statement posted on the city’s website says the cause of the woman's injuries has not been determined.
Police detained a man at the scene. The statement says he was taken to a hospital for evaluation and later booked into the Ramsey County jail on suspicion of murder.
A child, who was also found in the apartment, was taken to another hospital for evaluation.
On Thursday, police identified the victim as Abigail Elise Simpson, 21, and said the Ramsey County medical examiner continues to investigate the cause and manner of death.
