An autopsy completed on Friday determined she was stabbed to death.

The woman’s partner was taken into custody shortly after she died, police said.

The 32-year-old man, who has not been named to protect the identity of “multiple children related to both the victim and the accused,” has been charged with second-degree murder.

Police said those children were in the home at the time.

In a news release Friday, police said, “this homicide was a domestic violence incident.”
