Police are trying to track down the killer of a woman whose body was found just after midnight Wednesday at the Walnut Bend Apartments, located in the northernmost section of the Lake Highlands area, near Richland College.

Officers report responding to a 911 call for a health and welfare check at 12:15 p.m. Upon arrival, they found the victim, described a white female in her 50s, dead as a result of what they call “homicidal violence.”
The victim’s identity won’t be released to the media until police have had a chance to notify her next of kin.
In March 2015 the Walnut Bend Apartments, located at 9944 Walnut Street, was the site of a high-profile slaying of a newly wed immigrant man who was outside his apartment admiring his first-ever snowfall. In that case, police used surveillance video collected from nearby Audelia Creek Elementary School to track down and eventually arrest a suspect.
“We will release additional information as it becomes available,” the Public Information Officer assures. Check back here for those updates.
