ST. PAUL, Minn. (WCCO) — St. Paul police say they’re investigating a homicide Tuesday morning and a suspect is in custody after they allegedly set a Bloomington home on fire.

St. Paul police say that they found a woman dead at about 9 a.m. on the 1700 block of Wynne Avenue. The address police responded to is an industrial building.

The victim was found badly burned, police said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Calls like these are absolutely shocking and devastating. I don’t have the words for this,” St. Paul Sgt. Natalie Davis said.

Officers said they were able to identify a suspect as he had been in a relationship with her. That suspect resides in Bloomington, and when police responded to his address, they found a home on fire there.

The suspect was arrested not far from that home, and has been taken to St. Paul to be eventually booked at Ramsey County Jail.
