In a news release, police say a 31-year-old man has been arrested and charged with second degree murder.
The man and the victim were known to each other, the release says.
The victim has been identified as 43-year-old Ashley Burke.
Police say her death is considered an intimate partner homicide.
They say they will continue to withhold the cause of death for investigative purposes.
