MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Investigators are treating a woman's death Friday in the Powderhorn neighborhood of Minneapolis as a homicide.

A suspect, a man in his 20s has been arrested in another state, Minneapolis Police say.

According to MPD, officers were called to the 3000 block of 18th Avenue South at about 12:30 p.m.

When they arrived to the single-family residence, they found a woman believed to be about 20 years old "obviously deceased," with evidence at the scene leading officers to say the death may have been unnatural.
