Man Arrested In Fatal Domestic Assault In St. Paul

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Police say they have arrested a man in connection with a fatal assault in St. Paul last weekend.

The 42-year-old suspect was taken into custody Tuesday and is in the Brooklyn Park Jail. WCCO typically does not name suspects before they are charged.

On Sunday, St. Paul police found a woman dead in the basement of a townhome on Jackson Street. Her death was ruled a homicide, and on Monday investigators searched a home in Brooklyn Park.

That search turned up evidence authorities said indicated her death was the result of a domestic assault.

Minnesota has a domestic abuse hotline available 24 hours a day. The number is 866-223-1111.
