A 27-year-old man remains jailed on suspicion of murder in connection with the death of a woman in Woodbury this week, officials said Friday.

The man was booked into the Washington County jail Wednesday night about 12 hours after first responders were called to the 500 block of Woodduck Drive for what police called a medical emergency.

The woman, 29, died at the scene, police said. Her identity has yet to be released.

A statement from police called her death an “isolated incident” with no danger to the public. Police have not addressed a possible motive in the incident.

Police Cmdr. Tom Ehrenberg said his department’s investigation has yet to be completed, “therefore charges have not been requested.” The Minnesota Star Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are charged.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it is assisting police with the investigation, but a spokeswoman declined to comment further.
