Hopkins police are investigating a potential homicide at the Ramsgate Apartments on Van Buren Avenue N.

Patrol officers were called to the complex at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning by someone in a neighboring unit reporting a disturbance. They found a deceased woman in an apartment. They aren't releasing the name of the 33-year-old woman until family is notified, Captain Craig Kreiling said. A 39-year-old man in the apartment was arrested and receiving medical treatment Saturday for injuries. He is in stable condition.

Kreiling said the two people knew each other but it wasn't clear if they both lived in the apartment. "At this point we believe that it's going to be a homicide," Kreiling said. The investigation is ongoing. If the death is a murder, it will be Hopkins' first homicide for the year.
