A 25-year-old Moorhead man was arrested Friday evening in Wahpeton, N.D., after a woman was found dead in her house in Moorhead late Thursday, officials said. He was being held in jail in Richland County, N.D.

Family members were checking on the woman at her residence in the 3800 block of S. 32nd Street about 11 p.m. Thursday when they found her body, police said.

Officers arrived and noted that there were no signs of forced entry into the home and saw that the woman "had traumatic injuries noted on her body," a police statement read.

The cause and manner of death have yet to be determined by the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office. Police are not releasing her identity.

Anyone with information about the homicide should call 911 or the Red River Regional Dispatch Center at 1-701-451-7660.
