St. Paul police investigate homicide in city's Frogtown neighborhood
St. Paul Police announced an arrest in Friday's homicide in the Frogtown neighborhood, saying on social media they took a 34-year-old man into custody. The suspect is currently in the Ramsey County Jail.
Officers were called for a welfare check around 5 a.m. on Friday on the 300 block of Edmund Avenue, according to Public Information Officer Toy Vixayvong.
When the officers arrived, they found a dead woman at the scene. They also found a 2-year-old — who is believed to be the woman's child — unharmed.
Vixayvong says investigators have identified a person of interest, who was known to the victim.
"This is a tragic event. It affects not only the family but the whole community. And I know family and community are starting to gather. It's a very unfortunate incident for anyone," he said.
The woman's death marks the city's third homicide of 2025. According to Vixayvong, the city had seen eight homicides at this point last year.
