Investigators said the victim was stabbed in the 100 block of 10 Avenue S.E. She died of her injuries despite the efforts of first responders.

Originally, police said she was in her 20s, but in a news release Saturday, they said she was in her 30s. Her name won’t be released until an autopsy is completed Monday.

Michael John Adenyi, 26, has been charged with first-degree murder. He’s expected to appear in court Monday.
