Police initially said the woman suffered a gunshot wound, but in an update Saturday said that was not the case.
The victim has been identified as 64-year-old Hang-Kam Annie Chiu.
Police say the accused, a 30-year-old local man, turned himself in to police.
He appeared in court to face the murder charge on Saturday.
