Columbia Heights woman dies after apparent domestic assault

July 10, 2021 at 6:42PM

Police are investigating the death of a 33-year-old Columbia Heights woman following a domestic incident.

Officers responded to a 911 medical call at a home in the 5100 block of NE. 4th St. at 6 a.m. Saturday, where they found a woman who had been injured, according to an Anoka County Sheriff's Department news release.

First responders tried to revive the woman, but she died at the scene, police reported.

Police did not release the woman's name or the nature of her injuries Saturday. The case "appears to be an isolated domestic-related incident with no ongoing threat to the public," police said.

Police booked a 32-year-old man on probable cause for first-degree manslaughter, but no formal charges have been filed. The Star Tribune generally does not name criminal suspects until they are formally charged.
